// how it works
Colloquium handles the parts of running an academic conference that are administration rather than scholarship — the site, the registrations, the programme, the certificates. You keep the parts that are not.
Name it, set the dates, and you have a draft. Nothing is public until you publish, so you can build the whole thing before anyone sees it.
Ten sections covering the things every academic conference needs — call for papers, invited speakers, venue, programme, committees, sponsors — plus up to five of your own. Your logo and colours; our structure, so it works on a phone without you thinking about it.
As many categories as you need, each with its own quantity and registration window. An early-bird window that closes, a student category that is capped, a presenter category that is not public. Quantities are hard caps.
The site goes live at your own address and registration opens. Delegates sign up from any device in a few minutes, and your delegate list updates in real time.
Delegate lists for the registration desk, dietary counts for the caterer, and attendance certificates and invitation letters generated from your templates — individually or in bulk. Afterwards, the full record of the event is kept for the next one.
// what it costs
There is nothing to pay while you set up. One platform fee per event, sized to the event and agreed in writing before you publish, is the whole of it.
Free to build
Create your organiser account, set up your conference and build the entire site as a draft at no cost. Take as long as you need — nothing is public and nothing is charged until you decide to publish.
One platform fee
Each event carries a single platform fee, sized to the event — a departmental symposium and a five-hundred-delegate conference are not the same job. Your fee is confirmed with you in writing before you publish, and it does not change once the event is live.
No subscriptions
Colloquium is priced per event because conferences happen per event. There is no monthly plan quietly running between conferences, no annual renewal to remember, and no licence tier to outgrow.
Creating an event is free. Build the whole site as a draft, and publish when you are ready.
