Smart Abstract
Bremen, Germany
What it is
Smart Abstract is a web system for scientific conference workflows, covering abstract submission, review, programme planning, and publication of an abstract book. It is aimed at associations, professional congress organizers, and research and education organizations running conferences or annual meetings. Review forms can combine more than 25 grading scales with yes/no questions and recommendations, while submissions can be assigned automatically to reviewers. The optional Review PLUS add-on supports multiple review stages, custom questionnaires, and asynchronous author-reviewer comments. A visual planner arranges sessions by room and time with drag-and-drop scheduling, flags conflicts such as a speaker booked twice, and exports schedules to Word or Excel. The system sends submission confirmations, deadline reminders, and acceptance notices with session details. Its app displays programmes, personal agendas, abstracts, floor plans, exhibitors, and announcements, with browser access through a QR code or link and an archive lasting up to 12 months. Add-ons include livestreams, meetings, on-demand media, Q&A, polls, networking, and ePoster galleries. Pricing is available on request.
