Let’s talk For associations and education teams
Manage abstract submissions, speaker tasks, disclosures, and continuing education credits in a platform configured to your requirements, with a dedicated account manager from setup onward.
An idea becomes a program. Abstracts, speakers, and disclosures connect through one continuous ripple. Handouts flow out to participants, then evaluations and credits complete the event. The connections resolve into one coordinated workflow. Press Space or Enter while the film is focused to pause or resume.
Review abstracts, confirm speakers, and collect disclosures.
Every program has its own review criteria, faculty requirements, and credit rules. We work with your team to understand those requirements and configure the platform to support them, from the forms contributors complete to the reports your staff rely on.
The Planstone platform
Use individual modules alongside your existing systems or bring submissions, speakers, and continuing education administration into Planstone. Each module can be configured around your process and your organization’s branding.
Planstone brings submission, review, and session building into one workflow, giving your team the tools to manage a call for abstracts through to the finished program.

The American Physical Society’s experience

“Planstone was very helpful in the way the templates were documented with all the information, and creating a new type of “Ready Set Go” call for this and being on call to troubleshoot anything with this new tool”

APS sorters can filter abstracts, drag submissions into sessions, and work within session-time limits. Planstone developed the workspace with the APS team and refined it through a pilot meeting.
