What Paperpod is

Paperpod is a web event platform for associations managing academic, professional, and industry events. Organizers can create branded abstract forms, set deadlines, assign peer reviewers, track reviews, collect structured feedback, and record acceptance decisions. Speakers receive portals for confirming participation, uploading bios and slides, and completing tasks. A drag-and-drop schedule grid detects double bookings and AV mismatches. Registration supports tiered rates, category caps, and payments by Stripe, wire, or check. Exhibitors, sponsor tiers, and booth assignments can be managed on a floor-plan editor. Public agendas are viewable without login and offer downloadable .ics files. Each association receives an isolated workspace with its own data, branding, team, and custom subdomain. Plans are priced per event, include every module, have no per-submission fees, and take no share of registration revenue. Micro costs $1,000 per event for up to 100 registrants; Small costs $3,000 per event for up to 500.
