- Submission reviews
- Blind peer review
- Scoring rubrics
- Program reporting

- Score abstracts, leave comments directly on the submission record
- Bulk-assign reviewers by track, topic, or category in one action
- Build event-wise custom scoring rubrics and approval thresholds
- Trigger decision-based acceptance, rejection, and revision notifications automatically
Submission collection for complete intake control
The strongest programs start with a call for abstracts management process that filters quality, not just volume.

- Build adaptive forms with conditional fields, word limits, and upload requirements
- Block incomplete submissions from entering the review queue
- Auto-send stage-specific confirmations, revision requests, and status updates

One rubric, one blind setup, one standard across every reviewer on your panel.
- Assign reviewers by track with conflict-of-interest rules enforced at the point of assignment
- Score every abstract against a shared weighted rubric with zero interpretation gaps
- Strip author details automatically for single-blind or double-blind reviews
- Surface outlier scores and consensus rankings
Sharp visibility with single view program reporting
Every decision your committee needs is already in the system before they ask for it.
- Pull real-time decision breakdowns by track, category, or reviewer
- Generate one-click acceptance and rejection summaries for program committees
- Export scored submission records and reviewer comments for audit
- Benchmark acceptance rates and reviewer workload cycle over cycle
Frequently Asked Questions
Abstract management software handles the full cycle including peer review, scoring, conflict detection, and decision logging, while call for papers software focuses primarily on collecting submissions. Eventcombo covers both in one system, from open call through final program decision.
Single-blind and double-blind configurations strip author information at the reviewer level automatically at the point of assignment. Blind settings are configured during setup and applied across the full panel with no manual redaction required.
Yes. Bulk assignment tools distribute hundreds of submissions to reviewers by track or category in one action, with workload caps to prevent reviewer overload. Progress tracks across the full panel in real time so bottlenecks surface before they become delays.
Finalized decisions feed directly into session scheduling and speaker management without a separate data transfer. Speaker details, presentation types, and session slots map through automatically so nothing gets re-entered.
Conflict-of-interest rules are enforced at the point of assignment, not flagged after the fact. The system checks reviewer-submission conflicts during assignment and routes around them automatically.
Automatic confirmations go out at submission and status notifications go out when a decision is made. Submitters don’t need to contact the organizing team to find out where their abstract stands.
Yes. Submission, reviewer, and decision data connects to event registration, session scheduling, and speaker management inside the platform. Native integrations with Salesforce and HubSpot sync attendee and speaker data without manual export.
