EasyChair

EasyChair is a system for conference management implemented by me. I started to work on it in 2002 when I was programm chair of CADE and LPAR. In 2003 I used it for LPAR again and people started to ask me copies of the system. EasyChair was improved and rewritten several times and is now by far the most popular conference system.

EasyChair was used by the top Web conference, top Bioinformatics Conferences, top Computational Logic Conference, top Algorithms conferences, and many other conferences - all together nearly 3,000 conferences and workshops. Only in the first two weeks of September 2008 there were 103 installations of EasyChair: this is more that other best systems install in a year.

Here are some facts to convince you that using EasyChair is the right thing to do:

• Look at the image in the corner made by my classmate and friend Sancha Kosenkov. EasyChair is as cool as the image.
• If you are not convinced by that image, look at this image explaining why you should use EasyChair.
• If you do not use EasyChair, you have very little chance to become a Turing Award winner. Why? Because Turing Award winners submit papers to computer science conferences.
• Between January 9th 2007 and September 15th 2008 EasyChair had 95,711 users. Every day, on the average about 200 new accounts are created.
• We have been aproached by all kinds of conference, including conferences on fashion design.
• Around 2,500 users log in to EasyChair every day.
• The EasyChair designer have been programme chair at 12 conferences since 2002 and used EasyChair for running all of them.
• Please check the collection of FLoC 2006 Web pages created by EasyChair and about 2,000 users.
