Congress operations
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.

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.

8

custom content entities for congresses, sessions, abstracts, speakers, sponsors, experiences, bookings, and participants.

10

attendee-facing frontend surfaces and shortcodes covering programme, speakers, dashboard, registration, abstracts, invoices, experiences, and onsite scanning.

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.

The landing view reads like an operational control surface rather than a generic portal.

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.

WordPress-native architecture

Dedicated CongressPress menus for congresses, programme, abstracts, reviews, experiences, participants, fees, settings, tools, and onsite control.

Stripe and alternate payment routing

Finance teams can use Stripe Checkout, test with Simulator, or hand off to an external payment URL when required by policy.

Controlled export surfaces

Programme PDF export, invoice PDFs, and CSV exports for sessions, speakers, sponsors, registrations, and abstracts keep operations auditable.

Onsite continuity

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.
