MeetingHand Abstract Management helps academic event organizers collect submissions, run reviews, build schedules, and publish accepted work. Organizers can configure forms with topics, presentation types, submission rules, deadlines, and author fields, and accept text, files, or multimedia. Review tools include reviewer assignment, scores, comments, progress dashboards, and blind peer review. Authors may edit their abstracts until the deadline if organizers enable that permission. Accepted abstracts can be placed in a multi-track agenda and exported as a book of abstracts. Abstract submissions can be connected to conference registration through single sign-on, and organizers can require payment for submissions. MeetingHand says the system is designed for conferences of any size, including those handling hundreds or thousands of submissions. The web-based service has a free plan for up to 25 registrations or abstracts. Pay as you go is 4.90 USD per month, charged according to collected registrations and abstracts; Small is 990.00 USD per month as a prepaid plan covering 250. A Medium plan covers 1,000, with no price listed.
