Something for Everyone
Abstracts Manager has multiple benefits for all the different groups involved with running and attending conferences, meetings and journals. Most importantly, Abstracts Manager follows an intuitive process and has been designed and developed by conference organizers, organizing committees and delegates. At all stages the people who attend and run conferences have had a hand in the planning and development of Abstracts Manager.
