Scholars Conferences

What Scholars Conferences does

Scholars Conferences Limited is a privately held UK event management company founded in 2019 and headquartered in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The company organizes international conferences, meetings, workshops, symposia, and webinars across pharmaceutical, healthcare, science, technology, and medicine verticals, with a stated focus on small, intimate events of 50-100 participants. Production and management teams operate from the US, UK, Japan, and India, and scheduled events for 2026-2027 span Vienna, Singapore, Lisbon, Bali, Bangkok, and London, giving the company a stated operating footprint of 16+ countries.

The core product is the International Scientific Conference platform, supported by tiered sponsorship packages (Elite, Gold, Silver, Exhibition) and a digital registration system integrated with Stripe and PayPal supporting USD, GBP, and EUR. Revenue derives from three streams: delegate and speaker registration fees, sponsorship and exhibition packages, and publication fees captured through its wholly-owned subsidiary Scholars Publishers, which operates 15+ peer-reviewed open-access journals. The company also operates a Conference Chair Services program inviting external professionals to organize new events under the Scholars brand.

The go-to-market is predominantly digital, with online registration, an abstract submission portal, email newsletters, and Facebook/Twitter presence driving attendee acquisition. The customer base comprises academic researchers, university faculty, graduate students, and small-to-medium organizations in pharma, healthcare, science, technology, and medicine, with no disclosed enterprise anchor customers or institutional investors. No revenue, headcount, or funding figures are publicly disclosed, and there is no evidence of proprietary technology beyond commodity event registration and payment infrastructure.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• MDPI: MDPI is a Basel-based open-access publisher producing hundreds of peer-reviewed journals plus conference proceedings in science, medicine, engineering and technology. It is highly comparable to Scholars Publishers in operating model and discipline coverage, though at materially larger journal portfolio scale.
• Hindawi: Hindawi is an open-access academic publisher (now part of Wiley) that publishes peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings in similar scientific disciplines. It is comparable as a publishing-driven adjacent competitor to Scholars Publishers and as a potential acquisition or partnership target.

Broad incumbents

• Informa Connect: Informa is a global events-and-information conglomerate operating major B2B conferences, exhibitions, and academic publishing (Taylor & Francis). It competes indirectly across the same pharma/healthcare/science verticals but operates at vastly larger scale with more prestigious flagship events.
• Reed Exhibitions / RELX: REED Exhibitions (a division of RELX/Elsevier) runs large-scale exhibitions and conferences including medical and scientific events. It is a broad incumbent in the professional events space with deeply established sponsor relationships and venue infrastructure that small organizers must compete against.
• Springer Nature Events: Springer Nature is a major academic publisher that also co-organizes and sponsors scientific conferences in medicine, life sciences, and physical sciences. It overlaps with Scholars Publishers on the publishing side and with Scholars Conferences on the event side, but at significantly greater scale and brand recognition.
• Frontiers Media: Frontiers is a major open-access publisher hosting research conferences and events in health, science and technology. It is comparable via both the publishing arm overlap and its conference hosting operations in similar disciplines.

Direct peers

• Allied Academies: Allied Academies organizes international conferences, symposiums, and workshops across healthcare, life sciences, pharma, and engineering, with an associated open-access publishing division. It targets a comparable niche of small/medium academic events and is a close peer in business model and scale.
• OMICS International: OMICS International organizes thousands of scientific conferences across pharma, healthcare, science and medicine worldwide, with an open-access publishing arm. It is the most direct large-scale peer in academic/scientific conference organizing combined with publishing, operating a comparable business model across multiple disciplines.
• Bioevents (Bioevents Conferences): Bioevents operates life sciences and healthcare conferences across Europe and globally, with online registration, sponsorship tiers, and peer-reviewed publication services. It is comparable through similar event formats (intimate scientific conferences) and overlapping pharma/biomedical focus areas.
• Conference Series (was Conferenceseries.com): Conference Series hosts global scientific conferences and publishes open-access journals covering similar domains including healthcare, pharma, and engineering. It targets intimate-event formats and integrates registration, sponsorship, and publication services—closely paralleling Scholars Conferences' operating model.
