Why Choose This Project?

Conferences are a critical part of academic and research culture. However, managing paper submissions, reviewer assignments, and decisions can be tedious without a digital system.
This project solves that by providing a complete platform for researchers to submit papers, reviewers to evaluate, and admins to manage the entire submission lifecycle.

Perfect for academic institutions, tech conferences, journal publishers, and students exploring real-world publishing workflows.
