ExOrdo
Ex Ordo is cloud-based conference management software for association and academic conferences, congresses and symposia.[1] Ex Ordo combines a core abstract management functionality with a registration system, scheduling software, and a mobile conference app. It is used by conferences in 58 countries across a wide set of research fields.
History
[edit]Ex Ordo was conceived in 2008 by Paul Killoran when he was still an engineering student at NUI Galway. While helping one of his lecturers organise a conference,[2] Killoran recognised the need for academic conference chairs to have efficient tools to manage the research material submitted to their conferences. He built a basic abstract management system designed to facilitate the peer review process within scientific, technical and medical conferences.
In 2011, Killoran incorporated Ex Ordo with co-founder Dermot Lally.
Ex Ordo has since grown to become conference management software that includes delegate registration, conference scheduling and the ability to build a book of proceedings.[3]
Services
[edit]Ex Ordo allows conference chairs to manage all stages of organising a research conference. This includes collecting submissions and managing their peer review, creating a set of proceedings and publishing a mobile conference app.
Peer reviewers use Ex Ordo to review submissions based on an online marking scheme stipulated by the conference chair.
Awards and recognition
[edit]Awarded Best New Web Application 2011 and Best Practice 2011 awarded by the Realex Fire Web Awards.[4]
Named a Top 10 Abstract Management System for Academia by Event Industry News in 2016.[5]
Ex Ordo is backed by Enterprise Ireland.[6]
