Welcome to OpenConf!

Peer Review & Conference Management Made Simple

OpenConf is an abstract and peer-review management system that greatly facilitates the submission and review processes for conferences, workshops, and symposia. The software is flexible enough that OpenConf is also used for journals, grants, books, and competitions.

Developed using the PHP scripting language and MySQL database, OpenConf is available for installation on your server, or as a managed hosting service from a state-of-the-art data center.
