The organizer dashboard for a demo event: 40 registered, 17 speakers, 9 sessions, 3 rooms and 14 checked in, with ticket counts below.
The event's agenda on a phone: day tabs, My schedule, a room filter, and a 9:00 AM session tagged Policy with its speakers.
A diverse audience in rows of chairs, smiling and listening to a speaker.

Built for the people who actually run the event: the program chair, the volunteer at the door, and the attendee hunting for Room B.

For everyone at the event

  • Four colleagues around a wooden table, reviewing papers and planning together.

    For organizers

    Build the agenda, manage registration and see who's coming, from one dashboard.

  • A speaker with a microphone addressing a seated audience in a hall with arched windows.

    For attendees

    Register in a minute, then carry the whole schedule, every speaker and the room list in their pocket.

  • Two people at a registration table with name badges, greeting a third.

    At the door

    Check people in from any phone or iPad. Search runs right on the device, and if the venue Wi-Fi drops a check-in, it tells you.

Everything the day needs

  • A real agenda

    Sessions, speakers, rooms and topics, color-coded, searchable and filtered by day and room. Attendees star their favorites and add them to their calendar.

  • Registration that gets out of the way

    Free tickets, group registration for colleagues, promo codes and custom questions. Paid tickets coming soon.

  • Waitlists that run themselves

    When a ticket fills, people join a waitlist and claim open spots with one tap.

  • Check-in at the door

    Fast search, one-tap check-in and undo, on the devices you already have.

  • Event Library

    Slides, handouts and links attached to each session, public or registrants-only.

  • Attendee directory

    People find each other, and every attendee controls what others see.

  • Partner and promo links

    Give each partner organization its own link and see who brought whom.

  • Surveys and a funder-ready report

    Post-event feedback and session ratings roll into an impact report you can hand to a funder.

  • Your team, with the right keys

    Owners, admins, staff and check-in volunteers each see only what they need.

See it in action

In every attendee's pocket

Attendees register on their phones in about a minute. The agenda, speakers and rooms are a tap away all day, with their own starred schedule and calendar links.

Nothing to install: they open the link, and can add it to their home screen.

Event settings on a desktop: a Published switch at the top, then the event name, web address, headline, description and dates.

One dashboard for the organizing team

See registrations, ticket counts, check-ins and anything that needs attention at a glance. Settings are plain switches and fields, with a clear Published control.

Upload your schedule or attendee list from a spreadsheet instead of typing it in.

Check-in on an iPad: a search box and a list of attendees, each with a Check in button or Checked in.

Check-in that keeps the line moving

Volunteers search by name or organization and check people in with one tap, with undo for slips. It works on the phones and iPads you already have.

Everyone gets in the door.

Conifer is built and tested to the WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility standard, works with screen readers and keyboards, and lets attendees request accommodations privately. Attendees decide what the directory shows about them.

    Attendees register and add it to their home screen.

  3. Run the day, then follow up

    Check people in, then send the survey and download your report.
