The Attendee App for Your OpenReview Conference
Open reviews, public decisions, transparent science — and then attendees navigate the week from a spreadsheet tab. HEPCon finishes what OpenReview starts.
Open Reviews. Closed-Off Navigation.
Communities that review on OpenReview hold themselves to a standard: decisions in the open, discussions readable by anyone. It's strange, then, that the on-site experience usually regresses to a static schedule page and a hall full of people squinting at poster numbers.
HEPCon takes your accepted-papers programme — from your venue link or an export — and delivers it the way your attendees expect software to work in 2026: a native app, instant search over every title and abstract, personal schedules, and the whole thing available offline when the venue Wi-Fi dies under a thousand laptops.
OpenReview remains your reviewing home. We add the attendee layer — no workflow changes. See pricing →
The Poster-Session Problem, Specifically
ML and AI meetings concentrate enormous fractions of their programme into poster blocks — hundreds of boards in a single slot. The difference between a productive session and an aimless walk is being able to answer, on the spot:
- "Which posters in this block are about my topic?" — full-text search over titles and abstracts, filtered to the session, offline.
- "Where is the poster I starred this morning?" — your personal schedule holds it, with its session and location.
- "What else has this author here?" — every person's contributions collated on one page.
Co-located workshops, one app
A main conference plus a constellation of workshops is the OpenReview-world norm. Each workshop can live as its own event inside HEPCon — same app, same install, separate programmes — so attendees hop between the main track and workshop rooms without juggling websites. Returning communities already have the app from last year.
From Accepted-Papers List to Attendee App
- You share your OpenReview venue link, or an export of the accepted programme.
- We import papers, authors, sessions, and poster blocks, and validate the structure with you.
- Your event goes live inside the HEPCon app — preview in 1–2 business days.
- Late acceptances and schedule shuffles? We apply the delta; critical changes go out as push notifications.
Built for 5,000 papers. Effortless at 50.
OpenReview + HEPCon, answered
Is there a mobile app for OpenReview conferences?
Yes — HEPCon turns your OpenReview venue's accepted programme into an event inside the HEPCon app: offline browsing, poster-session search, personal schedules. Reviewing stays on OpenReview; attendees get a purpose-built layer.
Do we need to use the OpenReview API ourselves?
No. Share the venue link or any export of the accepted papers — our team handles retrieval, mapping, and validation. There is nothing to integrate on your side.
Can links back to OpenReview forums be included?
Yes — per-paper external links (forum pages, PDFs, project sites) can be attached as materials buttons on each contribution, one tap from the talk or poster entry.
Our camera-ready titles are full of LaTeX. Will they render?
Correctly, yes — mathematical notation in titles and abstracts is rendered properly rather than stripped, a long-standing HEPCon specialty from its physics-conference roots.
