What began for me as an abstract management tool has evolved into my primary conference website and registration platform, largely because of the people behind the product. The customer service is, without question, the best I have experienced in my career. Their team is incredibly responsive, collaborative, and genuinely invested in finding solutions. While the platform may not always have every “bell and whistle” out of the box, they consistently work with you to find smart workarounds and practical solutions that meet your needs. That willingness to partner and problem-solve makes a huge difference. I want to specifically acknowledge \[sensitive content hidden\], Customer Success Manager. \[sensitive content hidden\] sets an incredibly high bar. He is knowledgeable, friendly, responsive, and always willing to go the extra mile for the client. Working with him is an absolute pleasure, and he elevates the entire Fourwaves experience. > > **Cons**: Compared to some larger platforms, Fourwaves may not always lead with flashy features or rapid-fire innovation. That said, this is largely offset by their openness to feedback, continuous improvement, and hands-on support. They listen, adapt, and evolve thoughtfully rather than chasing trends. > > My experience with Fourwaves over several years has been consistently positive and continues to improve. The platform has grown alongside my needs, and it’s clear that customer feedback directly informs their development roadmap. From the very beginning, the leadership team has been remarkably accessible. \[sensitive content hidden\] were the two individuals I initially worked with, and that same openness, responsiveness, and care for the customer still defines the organization today. As a Quebec-based Canadian company, Fourwaves brings a strong sense of partnership, accountability, and pride in their work. They do not just provide software. They provide support, collaboration, and trust. I view Fourwaves as a true partner in my conference planning process. ----- ### "The Fourwaves team continues to save us time and effort by proactively understanding and adapting to what we need." — 5.0/5 > **Don** | *May 8, 2026* | Government Relations | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Fourwaves is a Canada-hosted, bilingual, and customer-focused solution to engaging our distributed, interdisciplinary, and diverse pan-Canadian community. Their interface is simple to use for organizers, intuitive for users, and integrates well with our finance systems. Most of all, they take the time to understand our goals and limitations as a small grant-based project. They have been extremely responsive when we had issues or ideas for features, and they offer exceptional value for the money with flexible add-ons we can use as needed (and as our funding allows). > > **Cons**: We have to manually enter French translations - it would be nice if there was a way to have auto-translation that we just have to proofread. Maybe a language module add-on could be an option? > > Working with Fourwaves is like working with a bonus member of our team. They genuinely care about the success of our events and take the time to think through issues and look for improvements. We have saved hours of time using their platform instead of trying to figure things out for scratch ourselves. It lets us focus on our core work because we know we're in good hands. ----- ### "Fourwaves for international events" — 5.0/5 > **Sofia** | *June 19, 2026* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: - Exceptional customer support with quick turnaround times and effective troubleshooting. - Straightforward, user-friendly interface that is easy to learn, supported by excellent guides and documentation. - Robust event management features, including registration tracking, payment management, and abstract handling. - Reliable performance and easy monitoring of registrations and financial transactions. - Well suited for large international meetings while remaining flexible enough for a wide range of event types. - Strong value for the cost. > > **Cons**: - The agenda management could be more flexible, particularly when manually adding keynote or invited speakers and talks outside the abstract submission workflow. - A downloadable or offline version of the agenda would improve the attendee experience, as some users found the online agenda difficult to navigate without an internet connection. > > We have been using Fourwaves since 2024 to manage large international scientific meetings, and it has quickly become our go-to registration platform. It's intuitive, user-friendly, and offers a wide range of tools for managing registrations, payments, abstracts, and attendees in one place. The standout feature is undoubtedly the customer support. The team is incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and consistently provides fast, effective solutions whenever issues arise. On multiple occasions, they've gone above and beyond to help us troubleshoot challenges, making event management significantly less stressful. ----- ### "Excellent support\!" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *May 25, 2026* | Medical Practice | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: The email support was incredibly thorough, and they were able to get back to me super quickly about any questions I had. > > **Cons**: A few things are locked behind the bigger paywall, but that's to be expected. A preview option of these features might be helpful to see if additional features are worth it. > > Great experience with setting up registration and payments for our event. We will continue to use them in the future. ----- ### "Highly recommend" — 4.0/5 > **Valérie** | *April 28, 2026* | Events Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support is amazing: responsive, always helpful, go beyond the call of duty. IMO great value for money compared to other products that shall remain nameless. We've been using 4W since 2022 and are looking forward to it getting bigger and better. Super easy and intuitive to configure and use. It's almost scientist-proof, too\! Would 100% recommend to clients and peers. > > **Cons**: Website features need improvement--appearance is very drab and customization not quite wide enough. Search functions in submissions, reviews, and reviewers I find underwhelming--in that I have to export to Excel and merge 2 files to get the results I'm looking for. Track chairs shold be able to leave comments, just like reviewers. > > Extremely positive experience with their dynamic R\&D that is in tune with their clients' needs. They're very committed to continuous improvement, which is great to see and be a part of. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1019643/fourwaves?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/1019643/fourwaves) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
