The Conference App That Reads Like a Book

Built for Social Sciences and Humanities conferences where narrative, language, and context matter as much as the schedule itself.

Your Abstract Book, Reimagined

In the Humanities, the abstract isn't just a summary—it's the core of the intellectual exchange. Generic apps often truncate text or force ugly formatting.

HEPCon provides a reading experience that rivals a printed program, with the search power of a digital database.

  • Long-Form Readability: Our typography is optimized for reading 500+ word abstracts on small screens without eye strain.
  • Multi-Language Support: Hosting a session in French, English, and German? We handle special characters and localized titles perfectly.
  • Author Indexing: A powerful "Who is speaking where" index that links every co-author to their specific panel.
Digital Humanities Friendly

"The app handled our 1,200-word panel descriptions and mixed-language titles flawlessly. It felt like a digital companion, not just a schedule."

Typical Issues at Humanities & Social Science Conferences

  • Panels with rich titles and long abstracts reduced to a few truncated lines in generic apps.
  • Round tables, workshops, and screenings that don’t fit a simple “talk + speaker” template.
  • Discussants and chairs disappearing from the interface, making it hard to follow intellectual threads.
  • Fewer parallel tracks but intense overlap between them, forcing attendees to choose without enough context.
  • Multilingual programmes that break when diacritics and non‑Latin scripts meet simplistic software.
  • PDF programmes that are beautiful but impossible to search when someone is looking for a single concept.

Designed for Discourse

Panels, Round Tables & More

Model sessions with a Chair, Discussant, and multiple Presenters explicitly, mirroring how humanities discussions actually unfold rather than flattening them into a list.

Thematic Discovery

Let participants search the full text of abstracts for concepts, regions, periods, or authors, and save a personal list of sessions to follow a theme across the event.

Perfect for Historic Venues

Many humanities conferences take place in heritage buildings with thick walls and weak Wi‑Fi. HEPCon stores the full programme on the device so the conversation never depends on the network.
