Announcing Silverchair Meetings, a new product from Silverchair
By building off the strengths and robust features of the Silverchair Platform, Silverchair Meetings transforms the ways associations, societies, and publishers can enrich, organize, distribute, and monetize scholarly and professional conference content beyond live, in-person events.
Out of the box, your meeting content will be discoverable to the world, linked to your research and education content, and can be easily turned into collections, subscription based or member products, or open access libraries. Silverchair Meetings allows you to maximize your technology investment, leveraging your existing audience and content, increasing content discoverability and engagement, and amplifying your brand.
Our goal is to serve our publishers through as much of the research content lifecycle as possible—delivering and optimizing discovery for the valuable outputs of academics meetings is a natural extension of the platform's capabilities.
—Hannah Heckner, Director of Product Strategy

Academic and scientific meetings have long been a significant mission and revenue generating activity. Covid disrupted the traditional, in-person conference, driving associations and societies to transform their events into hybrid or online-only meetings. These hybrid and online-only meetings came with many benefits, including greater content capture, improved accessibility, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and highlighting the important early-stage research most frequently shared at conferences.
For these reasons, many industry stakeholders expect hybrid meetings to be a permanent feature of the scholarly landscape. The value of the conference content at these meetings is being increasingly recognized by organizations; however, early conference and meeting platforms lack the robust content management, hosting, product, and commerce features necessary for associations and publishers to build new, resilient, and sustainable engaging and revenue generating products. That’s where we come in.
Silverchair Meetings gives you a proven solution to organize, distribute, and monetize scholarly and professional meeting content.
