Conference Management Software
Abstract management. Speaker & session management. Meeting logistics. Built to stand alone or work together.
Whether you need one module or all three, eShow’s conference management software gives you the tools to manage every stage of your program — from call for papers through conference day. Each module is built to perform on its own. Together, they run on one database, so nothing falls through the cracks between them.
Abstract & Call for Papers Management
Managing a call for papers means juggling submissions, reviewers, approvals, and scheduling, often across disconnected tools. eShow’s abstract management and call for papers software handles the entire process in one place, from first submission to final approval.
Submitters access a dedicated portal to submit abstracts, proposals, and educational session content online. Reviewers access the same system through their own portal to score, rate, and approve submissions — with open or blind review options, cutoff dates, and approval logic configured to your process.
If you’re also using eShow’s Speaker & Session Management module, approved abstracts flow directly into scheduling and room assignments without re-entering a single piece of data.
Includes:
- Online submission of abstracts, proposals, and educational session content
- Peer committee review with open or blind rating system
- Configurable review workflows, cutoff dates, filters, and logic
- Standardized data collection for easy comparison across submissions
- Speaker and committee document and detail management
Speaker & Session Management
Building a conference program means tracking dozens — sometimes hundreds — of speakers, sessions, room assignments, and schedules simultaneously. eShow’s speaker and session management platform keeps it all in one place, with tools for both your team and your speakers.
Speakers access their own dedicated portal to submit biographies, headshots, and session materials directly so your team isn’t collecting and uploading on their behalf. Your speaker scheduling software flags room and schedule conflicts automatically, so nothing overlaps without you knowing.
Attendees get interactive, publicly accessible session and speaker schedules — including a Schedule-at-a-Glance and full session program — built from the same data your team is managing.

Meeting Logistics Module
Every conference planning process has a hundred details that live outside the session schedule — room setups, food and beverage orders, AV requirements, signage, staffing, and vendor coordination. The Meeting Logistics Module is where all of it gets managed.
From your venue’s room layouts and setup requirements to food and beverage orders and signage submissions, the Meeting Logistics Module keeps every operational detail organized and accessible to the people who need it. Staff time and travel can be factored in, and the module generates the function sheets, banquet event orders (BEOs), expense reports, and staff schedules your team and venue needs to execute.
Includes:
- Space, inventory, schedule, and staffing coordination
- Room layout and setup/teardown management
- Venue food and beverage order management
- Signage order submission management
- Event function financials from a single vantage point
- Custom forms to collect needs and requests from other user groups
