OpenConf handles your submissions and reviews. HEPCon publishes your multi-track programme inside the HEPCon app — from your public programme link or an export — an offline-capable agenda attendees actually use on site.
OpenConf is a well-established system for paper submission, peer review, and schedule management — trusted by IEEE chapters, ACM communities, and technical symposiums where programme quality is taken seriously. What it doesn't include is an attendee-facing mobile experience for the event itself.
HEPCon closes that gap without adding work to your side. Export your OpenConf schedule once and we publish your conference as a new event inside the HEPCon app. Attendees download the programme and browse it offline — personal schedules, full-text search, and push notifications included. No separate app to build, no second system to maintain. OpenConf stays your programme tool; HEPCon delivers the on-site experience.
Works with OpenConf's CSV/spreadsheet exports — available in any OpenConf installation. No API access required. See pricing →
No API agreement, no custom development, no changes to your OpenConf installation. Just the schedule export your programme committee already produces.
Use the schedule export available in any OpenConf installation — the CSV or spreadsheet your programme committee already produces. No API key needed, no technical setup, no OpenConf configuration changes.
Send the file via email or upload it through the organiser dashboard. We validate the structure, flag any gaps (missing rooms, missing time slots), and confirm before publishing. Typically done within 48 hours.
Your conference appears inside the HEPCon app. Attendees install the app once, find your event, and download the programme for offline use. When you re-export from OpenConf, we push the changes automatically.
HEPCon reads your OpenConf export and organises the data into views designed for on-site use — not programme committee management.
OpenConf sessions become time blocks in the app. Individual papers are the navigable items attendees browse — title, authors, affiliations, and abstract visible in a single tap. Parallel tracks are shown side-by-side so attendees can compare them.
Track codes from OpenConf become filter categories. Room names become navigable locations, optionally linked to venue maps. Attendees filter by track or room to focus on sessions relevant to them without navigating the full programme.
Author lists from OpenConf are preserved and searchable. Attendees can find all papers by a given author or institution — useful at research-focused events where networking and collaboration are a primary goal of attendance.
If a paper is missing a room or time slot in the export, HEPCon flags it in the organiser console so you can fix it at the source in OpenConf before attendees see the gap. You catch data problems before day one, not during.
OpenConf is a strong programme-management tool. Once the schedule is set, HEPCon picks up where it stops — on the device, in the corridor, during the live event.
IEEE chapter conferences and ACM symposiums often run four to six parallel tracks. Attendees bookmark sessions across them and discover the clash mid-corridor. HEPCon's personal agenda flags overlaps with a summary banner above the schedule and per-row badges — the trade-off is visible before the doors open, not at the doorway.
OpenConf does not push schedule changes to attendees' phones. HEPCon does. Every programme edit is recorded as a human-readable diff — "Room moved A3 → B1", "Session added: late-breaking paper 14:00" — on a dedicated mobile page and the home card. Tracking is gated to a configurable event window so prep edits never pollute the feed.
OpenConf is trusted in IEEE chapters, ACM communities, and technical symposiums where rigorous peer review is a requirement — and where attendees bring high expectations for the digital experience alongside. HEPCon is designed for exactly that context.
Yes. HEPCon is a mobile and web conference app that works alongside OpenConf. You export your OpenConf schedule as a CSV file and HEPCon publishes your conference as an event inside the HEPCon app — attendees can browse it fully offline, with personal schedules and push notifications.
No. OpenConf remains your system for abstract submission, peer review, and schedule management. HEPCon is the attendee-facing presentation layer — it imports your OpenConf schedule and delivers it as a mobile-first, offline-capable agenda without any changes to your OpenConf workflow.
No API or technical integration is required. You export your schedule from OpenConf as a CSV or spreadsheet file and share it with HEPCon. We import it, validate the structure, and publish your event inside the HEPCon app within 48 hours.
HEPCon validates your OpenConf export before publishing. If a paper is missing a room assignment or time slot, we flag it in the organiser console so you can fix it at the source in OpenConf — before attendees see any gap in the programme.
