Case Study: University of Zurich streamlines poster sessions and conference management with Fourwaves

University of Zurich - Customer Case Study

The Cancer Biology PhD program at the University of Zurich needed a modern platform to manage its annual conferences after the pandemic forced a shift to a virtual format. Their previous process was a cumbersome and time-consuming system involving spreadsheets and manual emails. The program coordinator, Bettina Rausch-Malina, sought a solution to continue these essential events and chose the Fourwaves conference management platform for its comprehensive virtual poster session functionality.

The Fourwaves platform streamlined the entire process, handling registration, abstract submission, and program booklet creation, which saved the team significant time. The solution worked so well that the university continued using Fourwaves for its return to in-person events, heavily relying on its features to improve engagement and efficiency. The team found the cloning feature particularly valuable, allowing them to easily reuse the platform year after year, making Fourwaves an instrumental and permanent part of their event planning strategy.
