EasyChair is a free web-based conference management software system[1][2] used, among other tasks, to organise paper submission and review. EasyChair is widely used in the scientific community, with reportedly more than one million users in 2014.[3]

The EasyChair website also provides an open access online publication service for conference proceedings.[4] When launched, in 2012, the service was for computer science only, but in 2016 it was expanded to all sciences.[5]

The EasyChair software has been in continuous development since 2002. As of 2015, the code base consist of nearly 300,000 lines of code, and it has been used by more than 41,000 conferences.[6]

It is similar to other event management system software such as OpenConf and is hosted by the computer science department of the University of Manchester. It is owned by an English company.[7]
