What Conference Series does

Conference Series is a privately held, for-profit event organiser founded in 2007 and headquartered in London, UK. It operates a global portfolio of 3000+ scientific and medical conferences, symposiums, and workshops per year, organised through three regional offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia-Pacific and covering 40+ subject disciplines across Medical, Pharma, Engineering, Science, Technology, and Business. The company positions itself as a horizontal platform serving a fragmented, distributed audience of researchers, academics, healthcare professionals, students, and industry sponsors across 30+ countries.

Its core offering is the Conference Series platform, a digital infrastructure for running international scientific events. Key technical components include dedicated per-conference websites, webinar capabilities, a 15,000+ video library of featured speaker presentations, and dedicated Android and iOS mobile applications. The platform publishes conference archives spanning 2019 through 2026 and runs country-specific destination hubs for major scientific markets.

The business model is event-driven. Revenue streams include attendee registration fees, corporate sponsorship and exhibition sales, advertising placements across conference materials and digital properties, abstract submission fees, and licensing/royalties from conference publications. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by conference type and audience (e.g., Young Scientist Awards, Workshops, Symposia). The customer base is horizontally segmented across researchers/academics, medical/healthcare professionals, pharma and medical-device industry buyers, and student/young-researcher segments, with sponsorship revenue representing the enterprise-tier GTM motion and individual registrations representing the SMB/long-tail motion.

Broad incumbents

• Springer Nature: Springer Nature pairs scientific publishing with a portfolio of academic and medical conferences under its Adis and Nature imprint brands. Competes for the same speaker and sponsor pools as Conference Series in pharma and life-sciences disciplines, but at the high-credibility end of the market.
• Elsevier (Conference & Events): Elsevier combines a dominant scientific publishing business with a sizable conference and events arm, including healthcare and life-sciences congresses. It is comparable because it monetizes the same researcher-and-practitioner audience across both publications and events, though with far higher-tier brand equity.
• Wiley (Scientific Conferences): Wiley combines academic and scientific publishing with conference organization, including major medical, engineering, and life-sciences events. Comparable because it serves the same scholarly and practitioner communities across both journals and congresses, but with significantly stronger brand reputation.
• Informa (Life Sciences & Academic Markets): Informa is the world's largest B2B events group, running thousands of conferences and exhibitions including a major life-sciences and academic portfolio that overlaps directly with Conference Series in medical, pharma, and engineering verticals, albeit with greater credibility and higher-quality positioning.

Direct peers

• SelectBio: SelectBio is a niche conference organizer running high-volume life-sciences and biomedical events similar in model to Conference Series. Competes directly for speakers, sponsors, and delegates in overlapping research verticals such as genomics, proteomics, and biotech.
• OMICS International: The direct corporate sibling to Conference Series within the same Omics Group. Operates the parallel OMICS International conference brand with a near-identical model of high-volume, fee-based scientific events, making it the closest peer in both positioning and operational mechanics.
• BioConferences International: BioConferences organizes medical and biotechnology conferences for academic and industry audiences. Directly comparable as a peer running event-led communities for the same life-sciences researcher and clinician base at similar fee-based positioning.

Emerging players

• ExL Events: ExL Events focuses on targeted life-sciences and pharma conferences with a more boutique, vertical-specific approach. Overlaps with Conference Series on pharma and healthcare delegate audiences but competes with curated, higher-touch events rather than high-volume breadth.

Others

• Cvent: Cvent is a leading event-management software and services platform rather than a conference organizer. Included as an adjacent ecosystem enabler whose technology underpins much of the conference-organizer industry, including parts of the Conference Series platform stack.

Regional players

• AACR (American Association for Cancer Research): AACR is a leading scientific society that organizes oncology conferences and abstracts programs with strong institutional credibility. Comparable as the society-grade counterpart to Conference Series' oncology programming, illustrating both the credible competitor and the model Conference Series is benchmarked against.
