Simplify Your Call-to-Papers Process with vFairs Abstract & Speaker Management Module

Planning a conference or academic event? If you’re struggling with managing abstract submissions, coordinating reviewers, or scheduling speakers, you know how chaotic it can get.

That’s where vFairs Abstract & Speaker Management comes in. It’s a simple, stress-free way to handle every step of the process; from collecting submissions to building your agenda, so you can spend less time on logistics and more time on delivering an amazing experience.

2. Fair & Consistent Reviews

Set clear evaluation criteria (like relevance, originality, or presentation quality) so every reviewer grades submissions the same way. Plus, you can also set up single or double blind reviews to hide the names of reviewers and/or submitters option to keep things unbiased. 

Outcome: Higher-quality selections and happier submitters, since everyone gets a fair shot.

3. Quick Session Creation

Abstract Reviewer

Once you have accepted abstracts, turn them into scheduled sessions in just a few clicks. You don’t need to rebuild your agenda from scratch. The system can map the fields from your abstract submission form to the session list and pull session titles, descriptions, and speaker bios. All you have to do is assign speakers, add details like session duration and time, and you’re done.

Outcome: A polished, professional schedule without the chaos.

4. Dedicated Speaker Portal

Speaker Portal

No more ‘where’s my schedule?’ emails from the speakers at your event!

Give your speakers one place to access their session details, upload materials, and manage Q&A, so they’re prepared, and you’re not stuck answering the same questions repeatedly.

Outcome: There’s less admin work for event organizers to set sessions up as you can offload some tasks to speakers by giving them more control.

5. Scale Without the Stress

Whether you’re handling 50 submissions or 1,000+, the system adapts to your needs. Set deadlines, limit submissions per author, and automate reminders to keep everything on track.

Outcome: A smooth process, no matter how big (or small) your event is.

6. Keep Everyone in the Loop

Abstract Management Visual Email Notification Settings

When you’re managing thousands of submissions and reviewers, it is impossible to manually keep track of everything and also keep all stakeholders informed. 

Automated email notifications at every stage of the process can make it simpler. Send emails for submission confirmation, abstract acceptance, abstract rejection, review status, or customize your own notification.  

Outcome: Submitters, reviewers, and speakers stay informed without manual emails.

Why Should You Use an All-in-One Abstract Management System?

If you’re still juggling abstracts manually, here’s what you’re missing out on:

  • Time savings: Ditch the spreadsheets and endless emails.

  • Happier participants: Submitters, reviewers, and speakers all get a seamless experience.
