A great scientific conference requires a lot of work. You have to update abstracts, maintain poster lists, manage attendees, and handle peer review. All of these tasks require a lot of time on your end.

We eliminate the labor by automating these functions for you.

Below is a list of how we make these tasks easier.

Abstract Management
- Customers can update their own abstract till the defined date that you set.
- Late breaking tools to manage late breaking abstracts.
- Easily access and modify the abstracts yourself with our easy to use admin.
- Author re-ordering is just as simple as clicking an up or down arrow.
- We have abstract formatting tools to simplify formatting the abstracts.
- All abstracts can be exported in Excel or Microsoft Word.

Poster Lists
- Our poster list builder lets you add and number poster lists with one click.
- Our poster lists are dynamic, which means you never have to maintain the abstracts in the poster list.
- Author affiliation indexing is automated, so instead of spending hours indexing authors, you just click a button and download the author index.
- Our poster lists include the abstracts when using our attendee portal. (Like all of our modules, the attendee portal is free)
- Never worry about Greek characters getting lost in translation, since we store the Greek characters directly in the database.
- All abstracts can be exported to Excel or Microsoft Word.

Peer Review
- Peer review is automated. Just assign the abstracts to a reviewer using our filtering tools. You can assign them all to a reviewer, or assign by topic. We eliminated the tedious parts of peer review.
- Access peer review reports to see the status of your reviewers. Plus you can see the end results of the review process with the peer results report.

Assign a conference chair to the admin system
- This give your conference chair access to the conference reports to see how the conference is doing. (this is free just like our other modules)

Attach speaker abstracts to the program
- This gives your attendees a better understanding of the sessions.

Abstracts and registration are in one system
- Attendees can submit their abstract and register after the peer review is completed. Because abstract and registration are in one system, the attendees won’t have to fill out two different forms. Plus you can access everything from one system giving you better capabilities using our mass email systems.
- Or make it a one step process and attendees can submit an abstract during registration.

Meetingbloom.com handles it all! Our mission is to give you a cost efficient solution, but still provide all the high end services you need. This is why we charge $6 per registrant, and we don’t charge extra for our modules. You get it all, for one price.

What is the Cloud, and why your conference needs it?

- The Cloud provides PCI security.
- It auto-scales up in size for those days that you send an email out to 20,000 attendees, and 20,000 attendees hit your website at the same time.
- The Cloud handles all the updates and maintenance automatically.
- It creates better data, by automatically optimizing our databases.
- It saves us money because these services are automatic, and then we pass the savings back to you by only charging you $6 per registration.

https://Meetingbloom.com uses the Microsoft Azure Cloud to handle all your conference needs! From the conference website, workshops, emails, reports, polls, surveys, blogs, gamification, registration, award submissions, award committee, peer review, and our best in class scientific abstract submission software! It's all included for $6 per registrant. No hidden fees, and no extra cost for additional modules.

Our goal is to give you the tools to create the best scientific conference for your attendees. And a better conference means we are closer to finding cures.

We also give you the capability to accept images and tables inside the abstract, or not. It’s your choice. These features give your attendees a better abstract, and your poster lists will have more details for your attendees. And a better conference means more attendees.

Why is SEO important for your conference website?

Did you know that 96% of googles search traffic comes from the first page of your google search results.

Without SEO, the only attendees you’re going to reach are the attendees you’ve already been in contact with. To expand your conference you either need to spend money on advertising, or make sure your conference website is following the proper rules for search engine optimization “SEO”.

https://Meetingbloom.com does something no other registration company does. It keeps your conference website year over year, so your SEO rankings don’t disappear.
https://Meetingbloom.com also has built in SEO automation. This gives your company the capability to get on googles first page and reach a new audience.

Why is abstract management software important for your conference?

It’s important because your abstracts should be designed and formatted the way the scientists or engineers want them to be presented. Most abstract management software companies give you a bare minimum text field for scientists to submit an abstract. That’s because there is no profit for them to design a great abstract submission system.

Meetingbloom.com is different. Our life’s work is dedicated to making sure your scientific conferences get excellent abstract content like images, tables, and other formatting, to make your abstracts stand out. We believe if your abstracts actually contain everything you want them to, then we’re doing our part to help research.

03/30/2022

Why is gamification important at your conference?

Gamification is a way your attendees can interact with your conference. Meetingbloom.com offers many different ways you can have gamification. All of these can be tailored toward your conference topic, and be turned on and off during your conference.

Mobile Trivia Games - Give your attendees a little fun during the conference using our mobile trivia game system.

Mobile Scavenger Hunts - These are interactive with your conference location, and can have additional clues at each checkpoint.

Meeting Bloom Blogs - Get your attendees to interact with your subject matter.

We also have Polls and a new interactive way to do surveys.
Instead of sending attendees a survey at the end of the conference, why not have a live, interactive survey during your conference, and a separate survey after your conference? This will give your attendees a better way to communicate what is happening at your conference. Plus, because it’s live, conference managers can actually interact and fix problems while they happen.

02/24/2022

Why Do Abstracts Need Microsoft Security?

For over 15 years MeetingBloom has been working with scientific conferences, which is why abstract security is our top priority. We make sure your abstracts are secured by using Microsoft Defender for the Cloud. This service actively scans all of our cloud software packages for any vulnerabilities. We also store your abstracts in a Microsoft database to eliminate anyone trying to crawl the website to access abstract files.

Also, our attendees need to access the poster lists, which include the abstracts. To secure this we require attendees to login, and pass a “Google Recaptcha Picture Verifier”.

All of these systems combined keep your abstracts from being leaked onto the web and help guarantee you have a great conference experience.

What Makes Our Abstract Submission System Better?

Integrate your speaker abstracts with your agenda

Easy to export data for printing, or other uses (pdf, word doc, excel, etc…)

Abstracts are built using dynamic sections. This gives you the capability to use our “Auto Abstract Formatting Tools”

We have a secured section on your conference website. So your customers can easily, but securely, access the poster lists. Including the abstracts

Peer review is simple using our peer review system

Cost savings! Because we provide the registration system, conference website, abstract submission system, peer review, and all of our modules for $6 per registrant (no hidden fees)

Better abstract quality, because you can turn on formatting capabilities like, formatted text, plain text, images, tables, character limits, author emails, mark primary authors, special characters, and many more

Customers can update there abstract until the cutoff date saving you and the customer time

Abstract System Updates

We are constantly adding new features to our abstract management system. We just added a new feature to our abstract management/registration system, that gives the abstract submitter the capabilities to submit an abstract now, and register for the conference later. This gives the abstract submitter the capability to submit your abstract, then wait for your abstracts approval, without spending any money on the conference. In cases when there is an abstract fee, this helps the conference manager by not having two separate charges in the system to keep track of.

Yes, companies that have separate abstract submissions can do this, but because those companies abstract systems are separated from the registration, they require a manual abstract copy. And they have to complete this manual abstract copy every time a submitter changes something on an abstract. This process adds cost to conferences. That's why Meeting Bloom has the abstracts and registration in one system. We eliminate this labor which also eliminates extra costs and chances of errors.

12/02/2021

We just added a new feature to our conference website system that gives you support for hero images on your conference websites, and it doesn't require coding.

Hero images are those flashy large images that give your customers a nice visual appeal when they come to your conference website pages. Here is an example of the hero image structure. https://meetingbloom.com/GlobalFiles/System-Examples/HtmlPage.html

We are constantly adding new features to our system. If you want another feature that your current provider doesn't support, then let us know, and we will see if we can build it for you.

We sent out a survey 3 months ago asking, "what you want changed on our conference admin interface" and we listened!

We would like to say "Thank you" for helping us design a system that works better for you.

The new admin interface makes everything intuitive for conference managers to be able to find customer data easier, send out mass emails, work with abstracts, and be able to interact with customers more easily.

Our registration form generator now supports uploading documents. This means you can ask questions like: Upload a bio pic
These registration form questions can also be targeted to attendees, speakers, or both. Giving you the power to ask specific questions on the registration form to speakers and/or attendees.

We Also Upgraded Our Admin Interface.
We know how difficult systems can be to find what you're looking for. Which is why we asked our clients exactly what they liked and didn't like about our system. Took that information and made our admin easy to navigate.

We also have many new updates to help out our scientific conferences like: "Submit abstract now and register later capabilities".

Meeting Blooms abstract system lets your customer submit abstracts that contain more than just plain text. As a result of giving the freedom to submit detailed abstracts, your attendees can communicate their ideas better, and draw a larger crowd to your conference.

In the past, we limited abstracts to text because we had to print these abstracts in a physical book. Thanks to the “Go Green Initiative”, only 3% of conferences are printing in a physical book. As a result, we don’t need to put constraints on these abstracts anymore.

Meeting Bloom gives scientists and engineers the ability to show exactly what they want on their abstract without compromising their abstract. Our system allows abstracts with greek characters, images, charts, tables and formatting. We also have a peer review system to make review just as simple.

Plus, because the author/affiliations are dynamic, Meeting Bloom makes creating an author index as simple as clicking a button.

Another benefit of Meeting Bloom is that we have the abstracts and registration in the same system. So Meeting Bloom keeps track of customers that have submitted an abstract but haven’t registered for the conference yet.

We added more capabilities to our templating system at meetingbloom.com. Now your websites can share information with other websites you have. For example. If you have locations that need to be shared across multiple websites, you can now share that information and maintain your location information from one entry.
