The Attendee App That EasyChair Doesn't Have

EasyChair is built for authors and reviewers. HEPCon is built for attendees — publish your complex, multi-track programme inside HEPCon and give participants an offline-capable agenda in 48 hours.

Your Attendees Build Apps. Your Conference Experience Should Match.

EasyChair is the world's most widely used conference management system for submissions and peer review. The researchers who come to your event are — in many cases — the same people who design and build the digital products the world uses. They will notice a bad conference experience. They will also notice a good one.

HEPCon closes the gap that EasyChair leaves open. Share your public smart-program link, and we publish your conference as an event inside the HEPCon app. Your attendees get offline access, full-text search across hundreds or thousands of papers, personal schedules, and push notifications — without you maintaining a separate app or duplicating your programme in a second system.

  • Imports EasyChair's session, paper, author, and track data
  • Full-text search across the entire programme — thousands of papers, instant results
  • Push notifications for room changes and announcements — no email blasts needed
  • Works fully offline — no network needed at the venue

Works straight from your public EasyChair smart-program link — no API access, nothing to prepare. No smart program? A schedule export (CSV/Excel) works too. See pricing →

The Expectations Gap That EasyChair Leaves Open

  • A technically sophisticated audience notices every UX failure. EasyChair has no attendee app. Your participants — AI researchers, systems engineers, HCI experts — arrive expecting something better than a PDF or a broken mobile web page.
  • There is no push notification path from EasyChair. Room changes and last-minute updates can only be communicated via email or venue notice boards. In a conference with 500 to 5,000 attendees, that means most people miss the update.
  • No offline access in the moments that matter most. EasyChair's schedule view requires a working connection. Conference venues — especially large ones — are notorious for overloaded Wi-Fi. Your programme goes down exactly when the next parallel session is about to start.
  • Attendees at large multi-track events can't plan their day. EasyChair offers no personal schedule. At a conference with 20 parallel tracks and 800 papers, participants who can't bookmark sessions are effectively navigating blind.
  • Search doesn't exist where it's needed most — on a phone, on site. Finding "all papers on transformer efficiency" or "all talks by a collaborator" isn't possible from EasyChair's mobile view. That's exactly the kind of task researchers do between sessions.
  • Your organising effort deserves a matching attendee experience. You ran a rigorous review process, recruited top programme chairs, and built a scientifically excellent programme. The delivery layer should be equally strong.

Built for the Scale EasyChair Conferences Operate At


EasyChair is used at some of the largest academic events in the world. HEPCon is built to handle that scale — not just 50 papers, but 5,000.

Full-Text Search Across All Papers

Attendees search by title keyword, author name, affiliation, or topic area across the entire programme — instantly, on their phones, offline. At a dense multi-track event with hundreds of talks, this is the feature that actually gets used.

Parallel Tracks at Scale

HEPCon shows simultaneous sessions side-by-side so attendees can choose between them without navigating back and forth. At conferences with 10, 20, or more parallel tracks, that comparison view is what your attendees need.

Personal Schedule for Every Attendee

Each attendee builds their own view by bookmarking sessions. Their personal schedule is stored locally and synced across devices — replacing screenshots and printed agendas with a tool that actually updates when the programme does.

How EasyChair Structures Map to HEPCon

HEPCon reads your EasyChair smart program and organises it into a mobile-first experience — not a review system interface.

Sessions and Papers

EasyChair sessions map to time blocks. Individual papers are presented as navigable items with title, authors, abstract, and track visible in one view. Parallel tracks are shown side-by-side so attendees can choose between them without losing their place.

Tracks and Topic Areas

EasyChair's topic areas or tracks become filter categories in the app. Attendees interested in "NLP / Generation" or "Computer Vision" can filter the programme to show only sessions in those areas — across the full multi-day schedule.

Authors and Affiliations

Author names and institutions from EasyChair are preserved, searchable, and grouped. Each author's contributions across the programme are collated — so finding all papers by a collaborator or prospective hire takes seconds.

Update Workflow

When the schedule changes in EasyChair, your smart program changes with it — we re-sync from the same link, compute the difference, and the update reaches all devices. No manual re-entry, no version mismatch between EasyChair and what attendees see.

From a Public Smart Program URL to a Native App


EasyChair has no public API and no native attendee app. HEPCon's importer reads the same Smart Program pages your attendees would otherwise browse on a desktop, and republishes them inside the HEPCon mobile app.

Your public Smart Program

https://easychair.org/smart-program/your-conference-2026/

Any conference whose Smart Program is published publicly. No API key, no paid tier, no developer time. The importer respects the same `robots.txt` and rate limits any well-behaved client would.

Offline-first. Full-text + semantic search. Personal schedule. Push notifications when the Smart Program updates.

The importer is diff-aware — subsequent ingests propagate only what changed, not the whole programme. Try free with your EasyChair Smart Program URL → Curious what happens after you paste the link? How instant previews work.
