At Ex Ordo, we understand that scholarly events have specific needs. And we believe that these needs are underserved, with event organisers often left feeling stressed and overworked, dealing with workarounds and lack of support. The focus of our platform and our business is directed towards solving three core problems impacting event organisers: bandwidth and capacity issues; integrating events with wider organisational workflows; and receiving quality, timely support. Our powerful, flexible software is designed specifically for the complexities of medical, technical, scientific, and academic events. Seamlessly linked into our core abstract management system are tools for programme building, delegate registration, a mobile app, print-ready book of proceedings, and an integrated virtual platform to support interactive online and hybrid events. All of this is backed by friendly, dedicated, human support. We don’t do scripts, call centres, or bots. Over half a million researchers in more than 60 countries around the globe have used our platform to take part in physical, virtual, and hybrid conferences, on every topic you can imagine. If youre a conference organiser or association professional who’d like to find out more about our best-in-class scholarly events platform and the awesome team of people who make it all happen, please visit our website.

Edanz is a scientific research support service. We are committed to providing innovative solutions to the challenges faced by the international research community, from individual researcher and clinicians to large institutions. Edanz helps scientists reach their goals by providing guidance and support at every stage of research planning, execution, writing, and publication processes. Since our beginnings in 1995 as an English editing company, we have always put our researchers at the center of our business. Learning from their experiences has enabled us to understand the challenges they face; through finding innovative ways to support them in communicating their research globally, we have evolved to become much more than an editing company. We develop tools, such as our Journal Selector and MY Manuscript (tools.edanz.com), that help simplify each stage of the publication process; we produce and manage e-learning platforms such as the Edanz Learning Lab (learning.edanz.com/) and we have delivered educational seminar and workshop programs in over 25 countries. Our core services of high-quality language and academic editing and publication support combine the skills and expertise of our global network of highly qualified academic editors and research consultants as well as our in-house teams based in Japan and China. Edanz Pharma (evidence.edanz.com) supports Medical Affairs teams to plan and execute evidence generation strategies: gap and landscape analyses, publication planning, RWE studies, meta analyses, scientific platform development, manuscript development, congress support, and patient engagement strategies. Our teams include researchers, journal editors, peer reviewers, publication consultants, medical writers, and medical communications specialists. In 2019 we joined M3 Group (corporate.m3.com); Tokyo Stock Exchange First Section (Securities code 2413).
