Analysis of the Possibilities of Paid and Unpaid Systems for the Management of Academic Conferences

This article focuses on online systems for conference administration. The aim is to analyse the available systems for academic conferences administration. The theoretical part describes the process of conference organization, user roles and the process of adding articles. The current state of the use of conferencing systems was determined by analysing secondary sources. We analysed the most used conference management systems and compared their functionality. The research compares different systems, revealing the shortcomings of each system but also their strengths. It shows the differences in paid and unpaid conferencing systems and compares the functionality between the most used paid and unpaid systems. Each conference organiser has different requirements for the system. Based on the comparisons, we draw conclusions that show the advantages and disadvantages of each system.
