The Conference Management System

 ConfMaster History
     
 
 

ConfMaster is based on more than ten years experience in conference management systems. In 2003 ConfMaster developed from ConfMan, a conference management system designed and implemented mainly by Ketil Lund, Pal Halvorsen and Thomas Preuss between 1997 to 2000.

ConfMan is a web based manager for conference organization and includes features for paper registration, an online meeting for program committee members, registration of conference participators and some administration tools for the conference organization committee.

ConfMan is based on MSQL and Lite. It was installed more than 200 times and probably used at more than 300 conferences. However, the technological basis of ConfMan becomes more and more outdated. The last version of ConfMan (1.7) was released on 04/01/19. To get more information about ConfMan, please, visit the ConfMan website.

In 2003 ConfMaster was released by Thomas Preuss, one of the "fathers" of ConfMan. Design and major parts of implementation was done by Bastian Böing. ConfMaster is faster, more robust and more scalable than ConfMan.
