The Medical Conference App for CME-Heavy Programmes

Accredited sessions carry their CME credits and delegates filter to them. The whole programme works offline, read from Indico, ConfTool or your export, and delegates need no account.

Used at EUSPR 2025 (65% of attendees), JASMEE 2026 and MDSW 2025

Built for the Realities of Medical Congress Delivery

Medical congresses run dense, evidence-heavy programmes — parallel CME tracks, hundreds of poster contributions, last-minute schedule changes, and delegates whose attention is divided between clinical responsibilities and the programme. Generic event apps are not built for this. HEPCon is.

Free to evaluate with your live data — the go-live decision is due one week before your event. No credit card required.

What Goes Wrong at Medical Congresses Without a Proper App

  • Parallel CME tracks across different wings of the congress centre. Delegates choose between sessions without enough information — because the printed handbook is 80 pages and the PDF is worse on a phone than on paper.
  • Room changes never reach the right people. A speaker cancellation updated in your system doesn't push to a PDF, a printed booklet, or a generic app. Delegates show up to an empty room and come to the help desk.
  • Poster halls are impossible to navigate in a static PDF. Posters organised by disease area, study phase, or subspecialty need to be searchable and filterable — not numbered in a 40-page list.
  • Congress centre Wi-Fi fails by mid-morning. With hundreds of devices on the same access point, server-rendered programme pages stop loading exactly when delegates need to decide which session to walk to.
  • Generic apps demand logins and social profiles clinicians won't create. Forced sign-ups, networking features, and attendee tracking violate the trust your organisation has built with its community — and reduce app adoption to near zero.
  • Sponsor visibility conflicts with compliance expectations. Pharma-supported events must balance commercial visibility against medical education integrity. Generic apps offer no way to manage this boundary.
HEPCon addresses each of these directly — without a second CMS, without compromising delegate privacy, and without disrupting your existing CME workflow. Try free with your programme export →

Offline, CME-Aware, and Account-Free


Medical and clinical conferences are not marketing expos. They are dense scientific events with parallel tracks, live CME sessions, last-minute changes, and delegates operating at maximum cognitive load. Three design decisions follow from that.

Offline-First by Default

The full programme ships to each attendee's device on first open. Sessions, abstracts, CME labels, and room assignments are all available without a network connection — in basements, underground lecture halls, and congested exhibition spaces.

CME Automation for Your Accredited Event

Your accredited sessions carry their CME/CPD credits in the programme, and delegates can filter to accredited sessions only. On request, attendance is recorded against each session and certificates generate from your accreditor's template — with a full attendance log export for your accreditation review, no spreadsheet stitching. Accreditation stays with the credentialed provider; HEPCon is the automation layer.

No Mandatory Login

Delegates read the programme without creating an account, and there is no social graph, no advertising network and no tracking pixel. Usage data — session views, searches, feature interactions — is collected in aggregate for your organiser report, and is not linked to a delegate's identity unless they choose to sign in.

Connects to Your Existing CME and Abstract Systems

Your scientific committee already manages submissions and reviews in Indico, ConfTool, or a society-specific system. HEPCon layers on top of that instead of introducing a second CMS for the mobile app.

We ingest your export — sessions, CME labels, poster groups, and parallel tracks — and normalise it into a structure that makes sense on a phone for a busy clinician.

  • Indico events and ConfTool programmes read from the link — or their exports, when the CME categories live only there
  • Spreadsheet schedules curated by the scientific or CME committee
  • Custom exports from society or hospital information systems

How It Fits Your Existing Workflow

  1. Continue using your abstract and CME management tools unchanged.
  2. Indico and ConfTool programmes are read from their link; other systems send an export at each major programme milestone.
  3. HEPCon builds the congress event inside the app on iOS and Android.
  4. During the event, schedule changes arrive as updates, not a full rebuild. For a programme read from its link, you see what changed before it goes out, and can undo it.

One source of truth for the scientific content. A medical conference app that keeps pace with last-minute realities.

Designed for Busy Clinicians, Not App Enthusiasts

Open HEPCon and you land on "Today", with live sessions highlighted, clear room labels, and a minimal number of taps between "where am I going next?" and "I am in the right room." No feature tours. No mandatory profile setup. No social feed to dismiss.

When abstracts, proceedings, or CME certificates are hosted on your own systems, HEPCon links to them — without duplicating or re-hosting sensitive clinical content.

What delegates get
  • Offline agenda with "Today" and full-programme views
  • Filters by specialty, track, CME type, and room
  • "Now on" indicators and personal session bookmarks
  • Poster and abstract lists with full-text search
  • Venue and floor maps when provided

When two CME tracks collide

Multi-track medical congresses leave delegates choosing between sessions that overlap by 15 minutes — a poster review and a plenary sharing a window, two competing clinical sessions tagged for the same credit category. HEPCon's personal agenda detects when bookmarked talks overlap and warns the delegate in two places: a summary banner above the agenda ("You have 3 conflicts across Tuesday") and per-row badges next to each affected entry.

Back-to-back attendance is preserved — a talk that ends exactly when the next one starts reads as a clean schedule, not a conflict. See how conflict detection works →

Privacy and Compliance by Design

Medical organisations are rightfully conservative about data handling. HEPCon is built to match that:

  • No mandatory login or attendee account to read the programme
  • Usage data collected in aggregate, not linked to a delegate's identity unless they sign in
  • No advertising networks, no tracking pixels, and no data sold to third parties
  • Event and attendee data stored in Frankfurt, Germany (Google Cloud, region europe-west3)
  • Clear audit trail of what was exported and published, and when

Ideal For

  • National and international medical congresses
  • Hospital and university clinical meetings
  • Specialty society events (cardiology, oncology, radiology)
  • CME/CPD training courses and workshops
  • Pharma-supported satellite symposia

Medical Conference App — Common Questions


What organisers ask before choosing HEPCon as their medical conference app.

What is the best app for a medical conference?

The best medical conference app is the one that fits your existing workflow rather than replacing it. HEPCon is built for content-heavy medical congresses: it imports your programme from your CME or abstract system, works fully offline in Wi-Fi-poor venues, flags CME-eligible sessions, and pushes room-change and cancellation alerts in real time — without forcing delegates to create accounts. See how it maps to your event on the features page or pricing.

Does HEPCon track CME/CPD credits for medical conferences?

For events that are already accredited, yes. Accredited sessions carry their CME/CPD credits in the programme, and delegates can filter to them. On request, HEPCon records attendance per session against your event's CME/CPD weighting and generates per-delegate certificates from your accreditor's template, with a full attendance log export for accreditation review. The platform is the automation layer; accreditation itself stays with the credentialed provider (society, hospital system, or other accredited body). HEPCon is not ACCME or EACCME accredited and does not award CME credits.

Does HEPCon require attendees to create accounts?

No. Delegates read the programme without creating an account — mandatory sign-up reduces adoption. Usage data such as session views and searches is collected in aggregate for your organiser report and is not linked to a delegate's identity unless they sign in. Signing in stays optional, and covers the features that need it — a personal schedule that follows the delegate across devices, session ratings, and Q&A. HEPCon uses no advertising networks or tracking pixels, and does not sell data to third parties.

How does the app work without internet at the venue?

HEPCon caches the full programme on each attendee's device after first load. Sessions, abstracts, CME labels, and room assignments are all available offline — in basements, underground lecture halls, and congested congress centres where Wi-Fi fails under load.

How do schedule changes reach attendees at a medical congress?

You update your source system as usual. A programme read from its link (Indico, ConfTool) syncs from it: you see what changed before it goes out, apply it, and can undo it. Other systems send a new export. Either way the delegates' apps update in place, and critical changes — room moves, session cancellations — can also be sent as push notifications through the organiser dashboard.
