custom content entities for congresses, sessions, abstracts, speakers, sponsors, experiences, bookings, and participants.
WordPress congress operations
Run congress websites end to end from one plugin.
CongressPress brings programme, registration, abstracts, billing, invoices, badges, and onsite check-in into one accountable WordPress workflow for medical and scientific event teams.
Version 1.5.49
Commercial release for congress teams.
Native congress data model
Congresses, sessions, abstracts, speakers, sponsors, experiences, bookings, participants.
Fees, billing, and Stripe
Role-based pricing, invoicing logic, Stripe Checkout, or external payment routes.
QR display, print readiness, and check-in state stay tied to the same registration record.
Registration and experience documents can be previewed and downloaded from one finance surface.
What changes operationally
One plugin owns the participant journey from agenda discovery to onsite badge scan.
CongressPress is structured around the real workload of congress secretariats: programme visibility, registration logic, abstract handling, financial reconciliation, and onsite readiness.
attendee-facing frontend surfaces and shortcodes covering programme, speakers, dashboard, registration, abstracts, invoices, experiences, and onsite scanning.
payment flow modes for finance teams: Simulator, Stripe Checkout, or an external URL template when procurement requires another gateway.
Workflow coverage
Built around the workflows that usually fragment across tools.
Programme and registration stay in sync.
Publish programme pages with day, track, and room filters, offer PDF export, then connect registration logic with ticket selectors, document upload, custom fields, and account creation.
- Role-based fee matrix with early, regular, and late windows.
- Country-aware billing with Italy fiscal code, SDI, and PEC support.
- Experience checkout can reuse registration billing or collect custom billing data.
Abstract submission and review become one controlled loop.
Participants see “My Abstracts” first when they already submitted, reviewers see full abstract content with scoring and decision capture, and notification states persist until the requested fix is resolved.
- Create, edit, save draft, submit, withdraw.
- Highlighted fields show the exact reviewer-requested fix.
- Internal comments remain optional for reviewers.
Finance, badge delivery, and onsite check-in share the same participant record.
Invoice PDFs, QR badge availability, secure scanner activation, and live check-in visibility stay connected instead of being rebuilt in separate onsite systems.
- Duplicate scans show a temporary already-checked-in state without noisy repeated records.
- Participant dashboard exposes badge status only for completed registrations.
- Live console shows participant details, purchases, bookings, and scan status in real time.
Product proof
Show the exact surfaces event teams care about during procurement.
The site carries realistic product moments instead of vague feature boxes: participant actions, abstract remediation, badge access, and invoice retrieval.
Dashboard prioritizes what needs attention now.
Notification badges persist until the underlying action is resolved.
Participants can confirm readiness and see completed check-in without leaving the dashboard.
The landing view reads like an operational control surface rather than a generic portal.
Abstract resubmission is explicit, not hidden in email.
The workspace shows exact requested changes and removes notifications once resubmitted.
Assigned abstracts, decision capture, scoring, and optional internal comments live in one review surface.
Badge release is tied to registration completion and live scan status.
The participant sees a usable QR badge and a premium A4 PDF for print logistics.
The A4 badge PDF supports secretariat logistics without rebuilding badge layouts elsewhere.
Invoices center keeps registration and experience billing in one place.
Participants can preview documents before PDF download, while the team avoids manual invoice chasing.
Country-aware finance fields stay available even when the experience checkout needs its own billing profile.
Room selection, accompanying-person fees, and booking state remain linked to the participant record.
Operational ROI
Replace the fragmented congress stack with one accountable workflow.
This is the final decision frame for buyers: fewer handoffs, fewer manual reconciliations, and one source of truth across registration, abstracts, experiences, invoices, and onsite status.
Old fragmented process
- Programme changes travel through pages, email attachments, and last-minute PDF exports.
- Registration forms, ticketing, billing corrections, and experience bookings live in separate tools.
- Reviewer requests return as email threads with no durable participant action state.
- Onsite badge status depends on spreadsheet checks and repeated manual lookups.
CongressPress unified workflow
- Programme, speakers, sponsors, and sessions are managed inside a dedicated congress content model.
- Registration fees, billing rules, invoices, and experience checkout share one participant record.
- Authors and reviewers work inside controlled submission and decision surfaces with exact action prompts.
- Badge release, live check-in, scanner activation, and duplicate scan handling remain tied to the same registration state.
Security and operational trust
Designed for procurement reviews, secretariat workflows, and onsite reliability.
Dedicated CongressPress menus for congresses, programme, abstracts, reviews, experiences, participants, fees, settings, tools, and onsite control.
Finance teams can use Stripe Checkout, test with Simulator, or hand off to an external payment URL when required by policy.
Programme PDF export, invoice PDFs, and CSV exports for sessions, speakers, sponsors, registrations, and abstracts keep operations auditable.
Live check-in console, secure scanner activation, scan feedback, and duplicate handling reduce front-desk uncertainty during congress days.
Final call to action
Give your congress team one system to publish, register, reconcile, and check in.
