Indico is an event management web application. Its initial goal was to provide conference organizers with a set of tools that could help them through the entire conference life cycle. This initial feature set was extended to other events (such as meetings and lectures), and has since grown to include other features such as a full-fledged Room Booking module. Over the last years, Indico also became CERN’s official hub for collaborative tools, providing a common user interface for videoconferencing (MCU-based H232, Vidyo, EVO), chat and webcasting/recording systems. As the project grew, a lot of useful features and plugin modules to seamlessly integrate in the company environment (authentication, authorisation, layout customization etc) were added. And therefore, other organizations in the High Energy Physics realm started using it, effectively creating a network of more than 100 different servers, distributed across 4 continents. The Indico Community keeps growing day by day. Some of the feautures of Indico are:

• Simple meeting management:
• Simple scheduling of presentations.
• Slides and other material uploading.
• Delegation of rights.
• Full protection mechanism.
• Participants module.
• Evaluation form creation.
• Poster designing tool.
• Minutes management.
• Conference management:
• Conference Portal customization.
• Programme definition.
• Registration form, e-payment, badges design and printing.
• Full scheduling.
• Call for abstracts and reviewing module.
• Paper reviewing.
• Evalutation form.
