Conferences made easy!
rConf automatically generates a fully customizable web page for your conference where all abstracts, slides and proceedings may be referenced in a sustainable way.
Some of our rConf reference users:
- abiosus – Non Profit Association for the Advancement of Research on Renewable Raw Materials
- EARSeL – European Association of Remote Sensing Laboratories

A demo installation (without any custom layout) is available at rconf.isn-oldenburg.de.
As we provide each event with its own customized layout, offer
personalized support, and provide the conference pages for a long period
after the actual event, we incur costs that we try to cover with a fair
pricing model:
establishment of the event: 250 EUR (including 30 participants),
each additional participant: 4.50 EUR.
We reserve the right for price adjustments. Valid prices are listed
exclusively on the website of the Institute for Science Networking
Oldenburg GmbH. Additional adjustments to your conference site will be
charged at 65 EUR per hour (billed in blocks of 15 minutes and at actual
cost). All prices plus VAT of 19%. Costs incurred by commissioning a payment service provider are not
subject of a contract for the operation of the conference management system. They will be charged from the payment service provider to the
conference organizer directly.
