Software to help you organize conferences
Many conferences are still organized with some spreadsheets, some hacked web forms and maybe a wiki. There are not many programs out there to help you with all the things a conference organizer needs. Here is a short list of some software I came across, although I haven’t used any of them myself:
- Pentabarf (Open Source) created by the people from the Chaos Computer Club
- Open Conference System (Open Source) of the Public Knowledge Project
- Expectnation (hosted web service)
- Act - A conference toolkit (Open Source) created by the YAPC people
- Comas - the Conference Management System
