Academic conferences usually control quality of the submitted and presented articles with various types of reviewing.
Why is it so important today to keep your conference on a high quality level?
Why will it be important in the future to have an established peer reviewing process?

Today, we see an increasing number of conferences and meetings. The trend shows a reduction in the duration. Themes are getting more and more specialized. Therefore, it will be difficult for participants to find the right conference. Is the meeting more a marketing event or product show or is it a real professional or scientific conference where we can gain more knowledge and network for our business?
Today, many participants are making their decisions and fail to appear. As an organizer of an academic conference, you cannot organize many conferences with a low quality of content as the expectations from the attendees are increasing. They see conferences as part of continuing education and professional development. E.g. medical doctors are looking for officially rated
conferences, as only these provide the 'credit points' proofing their ongoing education. Otherwise their expenses won’t be paid by the hospital. Other scientific fields follow this trend.
Peer reviewing is one of the methods to guarantee and improve continuously the quality of the submitted proposals for content, such as abstracts and papers.
A transparent system of peer reviewing can help to make the right decisions. If it is visible who is in the scientific committee, if you see the list of criteria for the reviews you can judge yourself, if it will be worthwhile to attend such a conference.
Before the Internet-time, the review process was a huge workload to all involved parties of the organizing and program committees. Thanks to electronic workflows, the review processes are now simplified and accelerated. An electronic peer review process leads to better assessments of the contributions.
Review processes are easier to control and become more standardized.

When will you start to use a peer reviewing system?
