The depth of EasyChair, the experience of a modern app.
Legacy review-only tools stop at the decision. CMS carries you through registration, the live program and published proceedings.

- AI-native reviewer matching & drafting
- Public community forum for support
- Genuinely free for academic events
Loved by chairs
Built by chairs, trusted by chairs.
We replaced three separate tools with CMS — submission, registration, and the program builder. PC chairs got reviews on time, attendees got a real app, everything in one place.

FAQ
Common questions.
Is CMS free for academic conferences?+
Yes. CMS is free for academic and non-profit conferences, with no per-submission fee. Larger or commercial events use paid tiers.
How is CMS different from EasyChair or Microsoft CMT?+
CMS matches their peer-review depth — bidding, conflicts of interest, rebuttals and meta-reviews — while adding modern UX, built-in registration and payments, hybrid delivery, AI reviewer matching and a public community forum.
Can we self-host CMS?+
Yes. CMS ships as Docker containers and can be deployed on your own infrastructure. The hosted version is the fastest way to get started.
Which payment gateways are supported?+
Stripe, Razorpay and SSLCommerz are supported out of the box. Adding a new gateway is a configuration change, not a code change.
