Case Study: 12th Canadian Developmental Biology Conference streamlines registrations and abstracts with Fourwaves

12th Canadian Developmental Biology Conference manages 120 registrations and 97 abstracts with Fourwaves

The organizers of the 12th Canadian Developmental Biology Conference needed to manage a complex 4-day academic event with distinct attendee categories and handle abstract submissions and payments. Their challenge was to accurately track different registration types and process transactions seamlessly within the University of British Columbia's financial system. They turned to the Fourwaves conference management platform to streamline these administrative tasks.

Using Fourwaves, the team created an event website, managed 120 registrations and 97 abstract submissions, and processed payments via the integrated TouchNet system. The platform's flexible data management allowed for customized on-site materials. The event was a success, attracting more attendees than the regional historical average. The Fourwaves solution was so effective that the organizers plan to use its conference app and advanced features for their next event in 2027.
