Academic conferences or other equivalent events rely on the commitment of volunteers — faculty members, researchers, PhD students, and administrative staff — who already balance heavy teaching, research, and other administrative and operational workloads. Managing human logistics during conference days is one of the most time-consuming and stressful responsibilities for organizing committees.

CONFOR is designed to make this task simple, fast, and reliable.

CONFOR is an intuitive scheduling and decision-support tool dedicated to academic conferences and congresses. It helps organizing committees optimally assign volunteers to logistics tasks—such as registration, session assistance, ceremonies, keynote support, coffee and lunch breaks, gala dinners, technical support, and social events, ...—while fully respecting individual availability constraints and many more.

Instead of struggling with spreadsheets and manual adjustments, CONFOR enables committees to generate optimal schedules quickly (in 5 minutes or less), even for multi-day conferences (3+ days) involving many volunteers (25+) and time slots (10+/day).

With real-time updates to availability (soft and hard constraints) or other changes, CONFOR quickly regenerates corresponding alternative schedules. Clear visual dashboards—including Gantt charts, workload distribution, and key performance indicators, ...—ensure efficient coordination and help guarantee smooth execution during conference days.

Designed for universities and research laboratories, and scalable to other organizations, CONFOR fills the gap between generic, costly and complex scheduling software and time-consuming, tedious manual tools. It offers a practical, extensible, and user-friendly solution that saves time, reduces stress, and lets teams focus on what truly matters: delivering a successful scientific event.
