| Is your event or conference internationally oriented ? |
|
Offering information in multiple languages, providing VISUM requests and communicating with attendees in general becomes a much more significant challenge when dealing with attendees who travel in from abroad. Tog@ther has multi- language interfaces and extendable form options deal with all your international complexities.
Tog@ther can be suited to fit your local needs. You get your own customized webpresence without having to build a whole website.

| How is your submission workflow organized ? |
|
Although you have no academic submission workflow, hosting the presentations, abstracts or full papers from your speakers will significantly add to the online visibility of your conference.
Even if you only have a dozen submissions, doing all the communication regarding submissions through email often results in errors (loss of mail, ...). Within Tog@ther, you can organize simple "convener only" reviewing, that encapsulates the whole process in a semi-automatic way.
As a convener, you will want to spend your time in overviewing the whole submission process and not being tangled up in facilitating communication between authors and reviewers. Within Tog@ther, you have access to an updated view on the status of every submission.
Even if your academic submission workflow gets very complicated, Tog@ther offers a customizable interface to ensure that the system adapts to your requirements, as opposed to your conference having to comply to the system.
|
| Do you require information from your attendees at different moments in time ? |
|
Within Tog@ther, conveners can create as many forms as required. Because these forms link information from one attendee together, there is no need to ask for the same information (name, email, ...) twice. From travel arrangements, to social programmes or dietary requirements, you can make sure that your attendees can provide these details at the time they are able to provide these details.
Even if participants just need to complete one form, it's quite possible that they want to change certain details as the conference approaches. Within Tog@ther, conveners can access participant's registration forms from the moment they have completed them. Attendees can change fields as the conference approaches, until the convener formally closes the registration form.

| Which sentence most accurately describes the size of your conference organization staff ? |
|
When you are confronted with the task of organizing a conference, you will want to focus on the important tasks, and not getting tangled up in administrative errors or communication problems. By lifting the weight of around 80% of all administrative tasks connected with conference organization, Tog@ther enables you to focus on what really matters.
Within a group of people, it's hard to divide or distribute conference organization responsibilities. When two people are responsible for handling all the email in one mailbox, it's often troublesome to keep track of which requests have been processed and which haven't. Even a task as complex as organizing a detailed academic review process becomes fully distributable in Tog@ther. As a plus, all the members of the organizing team have the same updated view on all the conference data.
* Although independent taskforces have distinct tasks, they often need access to the same data. Whether you want to organize communication towards all participants, or check the academic submission workflow, attendees' details are always available in Tog@ther.

| How does the scientific content of your conference get distributed ? |
|
With Tog@ther's repository technology, you don't have to worry anymore about availability of papers after the conference date or closing of the website. When you choose to make the papers openly available (open access) in the Tog@ther repository, they receive a persistent URL through which they are available on the long term.
Tog@ther lets you create abstract books and conference proceedings in a semi-automatic way. This handy process allows you to print and upload the PDF to any location of your choice, whilst archiving the PDF in the Tog@ther repository ensures its wide availability and distribution.
Tog@ther encourages all deposit of scientific papers in open access repositories. Accepted submissions are automatically deposited in the Tog@ther repository, but can always be harvested by other (institutional) repositories. Contact the Tog@ther staff for more practical info about this.
