Abstract Management Software

Highly customizable. X-CD’s online abstract management system gives you complete control to build, edit, and optimize your submission and review forms using features such as conditional display logic and field-level controls by user group (e.g., members, speakers, exhibitors). While you have the flexibility to create custom forms yourself, we handle the initial setup to ensure everything works perfectly from day one. We will measure twice for you, so that you can cut once.

Yes. With X-CD’s abstract management system, you can collect abstracts, papers, disclosures, copyrights, handouts, PowerPoints, ePosters, videos, and more. Not only can you collect different types of data from speakers or submitters, but you can also conduct parallel calls if necessary (i.e., a call for speakers first, then a call for abstracts, while conducting a call for symposia, colloquia, roundtables, panels, etc.)

Our integrated communication tools make it easy for conference organizers to communicate with authors, co-authors, reviewers, chairs, and other stakeholders. With our customizable email templates and built-in [Hotkeys], you can send branded, personalized messages quickly and efficiently to all your stakeholders, all from within X-CD’s online abstract management system.

Absolutely! We refer to these types of submissions as “parent-child” submissions. The initial submitter creates the “parent” submission (e.g., the whole session proposal), then adds individual presenters or panellists as “children” to their “parent” submission. Children will be notified and can log in to manage their presentations further. The entire “family” can then be assigned to reviewers to review in its entirety. If accepted, the whole family can be scheduled and published as one cohesive unit within your event agenda.

Yes, we offer a wide range of import templates for different purposes. Ideally, you would use X-CD for all your data collection to avoid imports. However, we understand that situations arise, and imports can be a huge time saver. Our “Session Import” is an incredibly powerful tool that allows you to bring nearly any data into the system. Think the title of the presentation, the body of the summary, the track/topics, the title of the session, the order of the presentation, the session chairs, the moderators, the hours and types of continuing education credits, the start/end times of the presentation, the session start/end times, the day, the room, and the list goes on….

We provide hundreds of pre-built reports that are easy to access and retrieve, most of which can be customized to fit your needs. Simply find the report you’re looking for, then select which fields you want to customize. If it’s a report you want to return to, you can add it to your favorites, share it, and save a personalized URL to access it in real-time, from anywhere.

Very well. Whether you’re hosting a single-room event with 30 speakers or managing a large-scale congress with thousands of participants and 50+ rooms, our online abstract management software scales to meet your needs. Our server infrastructure is built for peak performance, even during high-traffic periods like the final hours before an abstract submission deadline.

We offer different levels of support depending on your needs. Even our standard support is considered better than most. Every software package includes personalized onboarding from one of our highly experienced support staff. We will set up your system, including submission forms with conditional display logic, site setup, branding, and recorded training, so your team can hit the ground running.

We do our best to respond to customer support tickets and queries the same day they are submitted, often within an hour. All of our support is provided by internal X-CD staff, and nothing is outsourced or automated.

While we offer the industry’s most robust and comprehensive suite of conference and association management solutions, we also integrate with other vendors. We can integrate with third-party association management systems such as iMIS, Nimble, NetForum, Personify, Impexium, Aptify, Fonteva, YourMembership, and others. Our system also integrates with WordPress, Salesforce, Mailchimp, Google Scholar, Feathr, IEEE, iThenticate, and Xplore.
