Common Event Management System

The registration process for participants attending PolyU events, hosted by various organizing units, has often been repetitive. Participants are required to re-enter information previously provided at prior events, resulting in a disjointed and time-consuming experience. Furthermore, the data collected is scattered across different organizing units, making it difficult to obtain a comprehensive overview.   Our Common Event Management System offers a suite of features designed to enhance the organization of events: Modular Architecture: Customize features to meet your specific needs. Identity Management Integration: Simplify registration by reducing repetitive data entry. Event Promotion and Communication: Efficiently manage activities via the PolyU web platform. Abstract Management: Streamline the submission and review process for abstracts and papers. Attendance Tracking: Use QR code and card scanning for easy participant check-in. Data Analytics: Centralize data collection for better insights. Email Notifications: Automated communication with participants. Photo Gallery and Document Library: Enhance resource sharing and access.
