ISSCR - Breaking Records Without Breaking Process
The International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) is a global nonprofit scientific organization advancing stem cell research and regenerative medicine. The Society supports the field through scientific exchange, policy and regulatory leadership, guidelines and standards, and clinical and public education. The ISSCR serves a global community of nearly 5,000 members and engages more than 45,000 non-member stakeholders worldwide.
RESULTS
ISSCR has consolidated abstract and speaker management into a single, interconnected system, with single sign-on and automatic data write-back eliminating manual re-entry. Membership status, tiered pricing, and reviewer scoring now update and operate within the same system, removing manual intervention at every step. This streamlined process helped ISSCR scale to a record 1,700 abstract submissions in a single annual meeting, with attendee satisfaction holding at 95 to 98%.
