Built for medical societies running CMEs and conferences — not adapted from a generic event tool.
Medvento exists because the software built for events in general was never built for what a CME conference actually needs: faculty who submit sessions and get confirmed, delegates whose certificates depend on real per-session attendance, abstracts that need one reviewer's final decision, and payments that work the way Indian societies actually invoice and collect. We built one connected platform around all of that, instead of a general ticketing tool with a few fields renamed.
The gap we built to close
No horizontal platform combines what we do
We've looked at the platforms built for general-purpose events — Cvent, Eventbrite, Explara, KonfHub — and none of them track CME credit as a built-in feature, and none of them offers abstract submission and peer review as a built-in feature either. Cvent sells that one as a separate, quote-only enterprise add-on. We don't think a medical conference platform should require negotiating a custom enterprise contract just to get the two things a medical conference actually needs.
The real alternative is a PDF and a bank account number
The confirmed, current examples we've seen are stark: a national physicians' association still running registration via bank transfer and demand draft; a 2024 conference using a literal fillable PDF registration form. That's not a knock on any one organizer — it's what happens when nothing built for medical conferences specifically has existed yet at a price that makes sense. We built Medvento to be that option.
The principles behind how we build
Faculty workflow, not a name field
Attaching a faculty member to your event and inviting them to confirm are two separate, independently-triggerable actions, not one fused step. Add someone to your org's reusable faculty directory once, then attach and invite them to each event's own programme as that programme actually comes together — tracked through invited, confirmed, and assigned status the whole way.
Attendance, not just registration
A CME certificate should reflect what a delegate actually sat through, not that they picked up a badge at the door. Medvento calculates CME hours from per-session QR check-in first, and only falls back to the event's full configured hours when a delegate has no session scans on record at all — see how on the Platform page.
India-specific, not India-adapted
Compliance and payments for an Indian medical society shouldn't be a currency toggle bolted onto a platform built for somewhere else. Razorpay checkout, GST invoicing, and DPDP-ready consent need to be built in from day one, not retrofitted after the fact.
One platform, not one template
CME-hour requirements and abstract-review norms genuinely differ by specialty and by body. A cardiology society and a public health congress shouldn't have to force their own programme into the same one-size-fits-all ticketing flow — see what that looks like by specialty on the Solutions page.
