I like that I can manage all of my conference information in one place: proposals, reviewers, attendees, tickets, website, app, etc. This was a requirement after having been working with 6 different platforms to manage my events: Submittable, Google Forms, our own website, Eventbrite, spreadsheets, etc.
Also, I want to give HUGE kudos to the Dryfta team for always being responsive to issues or feature requests. They have made many upgrades to the system based on features I personally requested, and it's not often when you get that kind of service. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the CRM functionality and reporting could be better. For example, if I want to run a quick filter by a null entry (when someone leaves an answer blank), I cannot do that. Having this functionality would make it easier for me to determine who needs to complete their profiles or their abstracts.
Additionally, when I want to export a filtered list (e.g., the tickets that were purchased during early bird period), the export tends to include ALL the results not the filtered results. This means I then have to filter using Excel, which can be time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their technical support is very helpful and their responses are very fast.
The site links welll with external sources via url links. We are happy with the registration system and that each account includes all information from submissions to registrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The issue of having an all in one service is that is at the beginning a bit difficult to navigagte. The technical support helps in navigating through.
The app needs more customization options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We've been using Dryfta for our research conference, and it's been a game-changer. What I love most is how customizable it is, plus their customer service is super responsive. You can build a website, set up the conference program, and even let attendees create their own agendas to really tailor their experience.
The abstract review process is what originally sold us on Dryfta. It's so easy to assign reviewers, and they find the system simple to navigate. We can also make updates to abstracts and titles whenever submitters request changes, which is a nice feature.
The internal communication system is solid, too. We mostly stick to the basics, but there's plenty of room to explore more advanced options if we want to. Overall, it's a great platform, and I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to streamline their conference management! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the basic functions are easy to use, diving into the more advanced features can be a bit overwhelming. However, there are more streamlined guides or tutorials for those features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dryfta provides one solution to plan and successfully execute an organization's conference. The user-friendly interface, an extensive suite of features, and exceptional customer support are just some of the reasons we will be remaining a customer. Dryfta helps to streamline the conference planning process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We have not experienced any negatives during our use. There is nothing to dislike about Dryfta! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The support is fantastic - fast and relevant. The system is powerful and once you know your way round the back end was easy to use. Much better than our lab system! Particularly appreciate extras like easy integration into Stripe for accepting credit card payments. Would recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There's a certain amount of lead time needed to find your way round the back end (for a novice like myself, some things were not in the most obvious places), but it's quickly learned, and the team respond rapidly to any questions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The way to set up the online events, the always-there support, never has the feeling that you ask too much. Working with the support team as one team to get the best solution for our conferences. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Layout options, choices of fonts and color are minimal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Dryfta is a one stop shop for conference management--whether you just need someone to help you handle registration or everything including managing presentations online. We had used them in the past to create a website and handle registrations for a large in-person conference. When COVID meant we would have to do this year's conference online, we took a leap of faith and let them handle it. The results were our biggest turnout ever, with attendees complimenting us on how easy it was for them to access the presentations. And even without face-to-face interaction, Dryfta made it easy for attendees to ask questions and communicate with one another throughout the event. And Zeb and his staff were incredibly responsive throughout setup and during the event to help us with our behind the scenes questions. A+ Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My only tiny criticism is there was a steep learning curve the first day the event went live. It would be good for us to have had more hands on experience with the front facing software before it started to help us answer attendees' questions that came up. But that being said, it was easy enough we quickly figured it out on our own, or Zeb came to the rescue if something came up we just weren't sure how to handle.

We used the Dryfta conference platform to organize the Memory Studies Association Fifth Conference “Convergences” (5-9 July 2021). This event, held entirely online, lasted five days and had nearly 1500 participants from all over the world. The program included 230 panels, roundtables and special sessions. We did not have a single technical glitch during the entire event, at least none caused by Dryfta!
The Dryfta team, and especially our personal assistant, Zeb Reyaz were very, flexible, supportive, responsive and communicative. They did their best to adjust the platform functionalities to our specific needs and were very quick to implement changes and remove any errors. Zeb and his team supported us throughout the conference, often going well beyond their obligations (e.g. by staying over hours or by downloading the recordings of the sessions much faster on the website than it was originally agreed on). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Initially, from backstage, the platform seemed to us a bit clumsy and difficult to handle and our conference assistant and communication person spent a lot of time setting up and testing the submission, review, registration, payment and automated e-mailing systems, the program and the conference homepage. In the end, however, the website worked great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
1. Wonderful technical support before and during the event.
2. All aspects (managing abstracts, presentations, sponsors, registration, contacts, etc.) are integrated.
3. Easy for attendees to view presentations, abstracts, speakers, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is a bit of a learning curve (first time to use it), but again Dryfta provides great technical support and has a large library of tutorials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Because I met her thanks to a colleague and she helped me a lot with organizing events and not forgetting the dates of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That this is not more languages and the price is also a bit high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Support at all times, willingness on the part of Dryfta for us to succeed and thrive, a caring and professional human component. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Nothing worth mentioning here since everything worked as planned Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
