Conference organizers overwhelmed by manual review and organization of thousands of paper submissions

Conference chairs and program committees struggle to efficiently manage, track, and coordinate reviews for large volumes of submissions (hundreds to thousands), leading to bottlenecks in the review process, missed deadlines, and inconsistent evaluation standards. Current solutions like email, spreadsheets, and basic submission systems lack automation for assignment, conflict-of-interest detection, reviewer coordination, and decision consolidation, forcing organizers to spend weeks on administrative overhead instead of focusing on scientific merit evaluation.
