Conference management that works for you. Not against you.
Every conference tool you've tried was built for someone else. Whova wants you locked into an enterprise contract. Sessionize only does half the job. The rest are clunky form builders with a conference logo slapped on.
None of them were built for organizers who just want to get things done without a procurement process.
That's exactly why we built smallconfs.
Introducing smallconfs: conference management built for independent organizers. Speaker submissions, schedule building, and attendee registration, all in one place, at a price that doesn't require budget approval.
Fast, focused, and pleasant to use. We built this because we ran conferences and hated the tools available to us. You shouldn't need an enterprise contract to run a great event.

How is smallconfs different from Whova or Sessionize?chevron_right
Whova is built for enterprise events and priced to match. Expect a sales call before you see a number. Sessionize only covers speaker submissions, leaving you to stitch together registration and scheduling yourself. smallconfs handles all three in one place, without the contract or the complexity.
Who is smallconfs built for?chevron_right
Independent organizers, community-run events, and teams who want a capable platform without the overhead. If you've ever felt like the tools available to you were built for someone with a much bigger budget and a dedicated events team, smallconfs is for you.
When will it be available?chevron_right
We're actively building. Join the waitlist and we'll let you know as soon as early access opens. Waitlist members get in first.
Will there be a free plan?chevron_right
We're still working out pricing. What we can promise is that it won't require an enterprise contract or a 45-minute sales call to get started.
Do I need technical skills to use smallconfs?chevron_right
Not at all. smallconfs is built for organizers, not developers. If you can fill out a form and send an email, you have everything you need to set up your CFP, build your schedule, and open registration.
Can I run multiple conferences from one account?chevron_right
Yes. You can manage as many events as you need from a single account. Each conference gets its own settings, team, CFP, schedule, and registration page.
What happens to my data if I stop using smallconfs?chevron_right
Your data is yours. You can export your attendee list, speaker submissions, and schedule at any time. If you decide to leave, we won't hold your data hostage.
