“Sessionboard has been one of our most successful investments this year, making our team more efficient and allowing us to focus on the most critical components of our events.”
CTI has served medical societies since 1996 with analyst-led configuration at extreme scale. Many mid-size societies on abstractsonline.com want to change submission and review steps without a ticket — and need speaker readiness, transcription, and attendee content after acceptance. Sessionboard is self-service programme software with the content stack built in.
Sessionboard is abstract submission software with guided self-service for chairs and reviewers, plus speaker portal, transcription, and Attendee Hub on the same programme record. CTI cOASIS fits anchor-scale congresses with analyst-led configuration — not mid-size societies that need to change a form this week and capture content after acceptance.
What CTI Meeting Technology does well — and where Sessionboard is the better fit for programme teams.
Documented volume on flagship multi-congress relationships when dedicated CTI project management is part of the contract.
Named support for societies that prefer services-led changes over committee self-service.
Decades serving the same anchor accounts — stability for teams that value the relationship over UX refresh.
Chairs and staff change forms and review workflows without waiting on a configuration analyst.
Multi-round review, COI capture, and chair tools in a current web app — worth comparing beside today's portal.
Speaker portal, live transcription, Media Library, Attendee Hub, and Amplify on the session graph — not export-and-pray after review.
Registration, AMS, and credit stay where they are — abstract, speaker, and content ops move to Sessionboard.
See how Sessionboard fits beside your existing stack — no rip-and-replace required.
Most customers do not rip and replace on day one. Here is the typical split.
Built for teams evaluating a layer beside their existing stack — not a forced migration.
Tools for call-for-papers intake, peer review, and programme committee ops — on Sessionboard, extended through speaker portal, transcription, and attendee delivery on one record.
No. This page compares workflow and product fit — not vendor stability.
Yes. Most migrations move abstract intake, review, and speaker workflow first — registration stays put.
Yes — COI capture, multi-round review, chair assignments, and rubrics are core. So are transcription, clips, and Attendee Hub after acceptance.
Cadmium is a suite play. Sessionboard focuses on abstract ops, speaker comms, and the content stack beside registration you already run.
Pilot one meeting or track, import historical speaker data where needed, and run parallel during an active CFP when possible.
