  • How can CATALYST benefit clients?

    CATALYST Abstract and Speaker Management Software was built using 40 years of best practices. It was engineered to minimize the most common pain points conference planners face when running a call for submissions. It features an intuitive, user-friendly interface, extremely flexible and configurable forms, built-in communication and scheduling tools, and simple yet powerful reporting capabilities. CATALYST also allows conference planners to publish the event agenda and related session materials directly to their event website and a mobile app, while making adjustments and updates in real-time.

    California Speech-Language-Hearing Association (CSHA) replaced their manual abstract management process to a fully supported and comprehensive abstract management system resulting in cleaner submissions. The Geo-Institute, American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) needed abstract management software for managing multiple events with increased submissions as well as the ability to push content directly to a mobile event app. CATALYST was chosen for its scalability, ease of use, and because they knew they would be fully supported by their own Omnipress project manager.
