Feature Map

What you can actually do with vCongress.

The complete map, by the people who use it: the conference office, the participant, the reviewer, the session chair and finance. Send this page to whoever asks “but can it do …?”

Organizer control center

Accounts and role management

Directory, role groups, and account operations for internal and event-scoped responsibilities.

Event editor tabs

Overview, modules, program, and cancellation tabs provide structured configuration with fewer blind spots.

Operational search and targeting

Search and filter across participants, submissions, transactions, and notification audiences.

Module composition and policy control

Configure participation options, deadlines, and cancellation policy behavior at event level.

Plan and usage workspace

Expose fair-use counters and plan context for tenant admins without giving them commercial catalog control.

Plan-aware module activation

Event provisioning, module activation, and feature changes respect tenant package policy and commercial handling mode.

Participant-facing execution

Registration and profile

Flexible registration routes, profile forms, and event-specific account workspaces.

Submissions and documents

Participant submission editing and file workflows aligned with abstract and review operations.

Payment and invoice context

Participant payment and invoice pages connected to organizer-side transaction and reminder actions.

Read-only commercial summaries

Surface event billing mode and classified package context where useful, while commercial mutation stays with SciSerTec staff.

Participant notifications and status visibility

Keep participants informed through controlled messaging and clear workflow status context.

Event access modes

Support open local registration, optional tenant SSO, required tenant SSO, or invite-only participant intake.

Public presentation and finance depth

Public event websites

Publish event pages, supporter areas, navigation, schedule content, and public abstract views from the same event data.

Static export reliability

Retry-aware public exports keep schedules, abstracts, and presentation payloads deliverable during event operations.

Payment provider workflows

Coordinate bank transfer, PayPal, Stripe, transaction drafts, payment synchronization, reminders, and refunds.

Document and AI assistance

Use PDF output, upload policies, document extraction, and AI-assisted drafting where the event workflow needs it.

Programme, on-site, and the second year

Chair self-service

Assigned session chairs sign in and fill in their own sessions — talks, session details, completion — inside an editing window you open and close. Removes the job of chasing forty chairs by email.

Participant badges

Design name badges against stock formats and print them in batches, on your own printer or through a print service. The badge band carries the participant's roles.

Speaker, chair, and exhibitor roles

Business roles are granted by you, by a submission outcome, or by an account role, then drive the roster, the exports, and what each person sees.

Copy last year's event

Duplicate a finished congress into next year's with dates shifted and options remapped — structure and configuration carried over, last year's participants and prices left behind.

Sponsor and exhibitor areas

Supporter sections on the public site, exhibitor participation flows, and partner logos across the surfaces that carry them.

Shared media library

Logos, images, and mail attachments live once at organisation level and are reused across every event instead of being re-uploaded each year.

Revenue mechanics and reach

Early-bird pricing

Time-based price tiers on any bookable option, so the deadline does the selling instead of a reminder email.

Coupons

Coupon-driven access and pricing for invited speakers, sponsor allocations, and member rates.

Waitlists

Capacity-limited workshops and dinners queue automatically instead of overbooking or closing early.

Multi-language participant journey

Run registration, the participant workspace, and organiser-authored content in more than one language for an international audience.

Dunning, refunds, and cancellation policies

Payment reminders, refunds, and date-based cancellation rules run as defined process rather than as manual bookkeeping.

AI assistance where it earns its place

Turn a submitted PDF into a structured draft abstract, and normalise messy affiliations and names across participants and submissions in bulk.

Automation and governance

Notification lifecycle control

Recipient preview before dispatch, inbox handling, and cleanup controls reduce communication risk.

Security, identity, and traceability

Passkey-capable login, tenant OIDC/SSO, role guards, and operational event visibility improve control and auditability.

Reusable extension model

Advanced workflows, reports, integrations, and branding are delivered as reusable modules instead of customer-specific forks.
