The problem

Managing and web-publishing academic conferences

drains research resources

Research staff wasting their time on IT
Money to contractors
Management or IT staff wasting their time

The market

Academia.edu hosts 5M users
Most of them will attend an academic conference this year

~25,000 conferences are run every year
According to a Pareto rate, 20,000 of them will be medium or small sized, our prefered target: short of money and staff

Yearly price: 300$ to 700$

Hint: Expect to grow adding research management tools
