IEUM - an open-source conference management system for scientific meetings

Overview

IEUM is an open-source platform for organizing scientific conferences. It manages abstract submissions, event registrations, and offers customizable workflows for event organizers.

Features

• Multi-conference support
• Abstract submission & review with voting system
• Custom registration forms
• Role-based access control
• Speaker and attendee management

Tech Stack

• Backend: Python/Django Ninja/Allauth
• Frontend: SvelteKit
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Containerization: Docker

Quick Start

1. Clone repository.

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/ieum-org/ieum.git
cd ieum

2. Create a .env file. Define all variables in compose.yml (production) or compose-dev.yml (development).
3. Run IEUM via Docker Compose

# Development, on port 9080
docker compose -f compose-dev.yml up -d
# or production, on port 9090
docker compose up -d

Database migrations are applied automatically: a one-shot migrate service runs on every up, and everything that touches the database waits for it to finish. Nothing needs to be run by hand.

After changing code or dependencies, add --build. The production images carry the source rather than mounting it, so without a rebuild the containers keep serving the old code:

docker compose up -d --build

4. The superuser is created from the DJANGO_SUPERUSER_* variables in your .env, also by the migrate service. To create another one by hand:

docker compose exec backend python manage.py createsuperuser

5. Login via Django Admin at http://127.0.0.1:9080/[DJANGO_ADMIN_PAGE_NAME]
6. Access admin page at http://127.0.0.1:9080/[ADMIN_PAGE_NAME]
7. Create a conference
8. Configure event settings
