Run whole conference
in one place
Submission, peer review, registration, and presentation, built for academic conferences. Sign up free.

What's inside

Built for everyone in the conference
One platform. Four very different jobs.
Conferences only work when organizers, authors, reviewers, and attendees all have the right tools. Pick a role to see what changes for you.
Run a conference without a dedicated IT team.
- Stand up a conference site, submission portal, and review workflow in an afternoon.
- Invite chairs, PC members, and reviewers with role-based access. No spreadsheets needed.
- Watch submissions, reviews, decisions, and registrations from one dashboard.
Why Airballoon
We built the platform we wished existed.
After running too many conferences with five disconnected tools, we set out to put the whole lifecycle in one place, without the lock-in or the price tag.
One workflow, end to end
Submission, peer review, decisions, camera-ready, registration, and presentation all share the same data. No exports, no spreadsheets, no copy-paste.
AI that you control
AI conflict detection, reviewer matching, and review-draft assistance are tools, not auto-pilots. Conference policies decide what AI can and cannot do.
Built on solid ground
Hosted on secure, enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest and in transit. Payments run through Stripe, which handles PCI-DSS compliance. Standards-based: ORCID, SAML/OIDC, ICS calendar.
Modular by design
Turn on Submission alone for a workshop, add Registration when you sell tickets, layer in Presentation when you go hybrid. Free to start.
