The Conference App Built for Scientific Research Events

HEPCon started in high-energy physics. It handles the real complexity of research conferences — massive timetables, LaTeX-heavy content, Indico sync, and parallel tracks with hundreds of contributions.

Built for the Complexity That Generic Event Apps Can't Handle

Most conference apps are built for corporate meetings with 30 sessions and a keynote speaker. Scientific research conferences are a different category entirely — thousands of contributions, hundreds of authors per paper, ten parallel tracks running simultaneously, and a community that expects LaTeX to render correctly on their phone.

HEPCon was developed with the high-energy physics community in mind. Events like ICHEP, TWEPP, CHEP, and EPS-HEP shaped the feature set from the ground up. Your attendees use Indico every day. Your abstracts have equations. Your timetable is a living document that changes until the morning of day one. HEPCon handles all of it.

  • Native Indico integration — not a CSV workaround, a live sync
  • LaTeX rendered in titles, abstracts, and author lists on iOS, Android, and web
  • Parallel tracks, plenary sessions, and poster halls imported as-is
  • Offline-first — works in underground halls, shielded labs, and congested networks

What HEPCon renders correctly

Session: "Electroweak Precision Measurements at the HL-LHC"

Track: Top & Electroweak  ·  Room: Auditorium B  ·  09:30

Abstract: "We present updated constraints on $\sin^2\theta_W$ from $pp \to Z \to \ell^+\ell^-$ at $\sqrt{s} = 14\,\text{TeV}$…" (full 400-word abstract, rendered)

Authors: A. Bergström, T. Nakamura, C. Vázquez + 47 more (full collaboration list)

What You're Left Managing When Indico Is Your Only On-Site Tool

  • Attendees navigate by memory or paper printout. Indico's mobile view is functional but not designed for the moment-to-moment decisions at a live conference — which parallel session to attend, which poster to find, which room changed. Delegates revert to printed booklets that are already out of date.
  • Room changes and cancellations spread through the corridor, not the app. When a speaker cancels or a session moves, you update Indico — but attendees only find out if they happen to reload the page. The information desk becomes the real-time communication channel.
  • LaTeX breaks in every app that isn't built for it. Titles like "Measurement of $R_{D^{(*)}}$ with hadronic $\tau$ decays" show raw code or garbled text in generic event apps. That gets screenshotted and shared.
  • Personal schedules don't survive a WiFi outage. Congress centres, underground facilities, and shielded labs kill connectivity. Delegates who bookmarked sessions on the web view lose access exactly when they need it most.
  • Poster halls are impossible to navigate without a map and a name search. A 400-poster session with no filtering by topic, author, or location means delegates walk the floor at random or skip it entirely.
  • The programme is finalised 48 hours before the event and changes every hour after that. Last-minute speaker substitutions, session merges, and room reassignments leave the published PDF immediately wrong. There is no push mechanism to correct it.
HEPCon solves all of these — without asking you to change how you manage the programme in Indico. Try free with your Indico event →

Built for the Way Scientific Conferences Actually Work


Native Indico Sync

Point HEPCon at your Indico event URL. Sessions, contributions, speakers, rooms, and tracks sync automatically — including updates during the conference. No export, no manual entry, no second system to maintain.

LaTeX & Technical Notation

Equations, Greek letters, superscripts, and subscripts in session titles and abstracts are parsed and rendered natively on iOS, Android, and the web agenda. No clean-up pass needed before publishing.

Push Notifications for Live Changes

Room moves, cancellations, and emergency announcements reach every attendee immediately — on device, not via the information desk. Update Indico or send directly through the organiser dashboard.

Designed for the Scale of Major Research Conferences

Thousands of Contributions

ICHEP runs over 1,000 contributions across plenary, parallel, and poster sessions. HEPCon handles the full timetable without performance degradation — search, filter, and personal schedule bookmarking all work at scale.

Large Author Lists

Collaboration papers with 50, 100, or 3,000 authors are imported and indexed correctly. Attendees find a presentation by any author name — even for contributions with full collaboration credit lists.

Parallel Track Navigation

Ten simultaneous sessions, each with multiple contributions. Attendees filter by track, topic keyword, or speaker and build a personal agenda that fits their specific research interests.

Poster Hall Support

Poster sessions are searchable by title, author, topic, and board number. Floor maps attach to the session view so delegates move from the plenary hall to the correct poster cluster without asking at the desk.

Offline for Secure Facilities

The full programme is cached on device after the initial sync. Underground accelerator halls, shielded laboratories, and congested congress centre networks are not a problem.

Slides and Materials

Link slides, proceedings, and supplementary documents directly to each contribution. Attendees access them before, during, and after the conference from the same session view — no separate Indico tab required.

The Communities That Run on HEPCon


  • High-energy physics and particle physics conferences (ICHEP, EPS-HEP, DPF, Moriond)
  • Detector and instrumentation workshops (TWEPP, TIPP, PIXEL)
  • Computing and software conferences (CHEP, ACAT)
  • Chemistry, mathematics, and interdisciplinary research symposiums
  • National and international research institute annual meetings

What Delegates See on Their Phones


The full Indico timetable — searchable, offline-ready, with rendered equations — in the pocket of every attendee from day one.
