Indico allows management of meetings, workshops and conferences. The agenda system is the most common and the easiest to master function but Indico goes beyond this simple functionality. It allows any kind of multimedia file (presentations, images, documents...) to be attached, and to create surveys on line (for example satisfaction surveys). The management of conferences is complete, from registration to production of the proceedings, including multi-track submissions and badges.

Indico has been successfully used to manage meetings with more than a thousand attendees.

To master the utilization of all the available functionalities needs a learning period.

Indico can be hosted at the laboratory level, but is at its best in large communities.
