Zambia

Convention scheduling tool originally developed for Arisia. Now used by several other conventions. Zambia tracks sessions (events, panels, and anything that needs to be scheduled), participants, and rooms.

Features

  • Track sessions, rooms, and participants
  • Comprehensive conflict checking
  • Participants log in to enter availability, provide biography, etc.
  • Reports for various departments such as technical services and hotel liaison
  • Includes interface to KonOpas/ConClár, free tools for publishing the schedule

Requirements

  • PHP 8.2 or 8.3 (May run on 8.4, but hasn't been tested)
  • Apache (Should be able to run on other web servers than can handle PHP and MySQL, but not tested)
  • MySQL (Tested on 8.0 & 9.0.1) or MariaDB (Tested on 10.11.13)
  • SMTP connection for use as mail relay (only if you want to send email from Zambia)
    • Note, many hosts limit use of their mail relays in ways not compatible with Zambia
  • Google reCAPTCHA account (If you want to allow users to reset their own passwords via email)
