Comprehension Convention Engine is a software tool to help organize conventions.

From the site

Comprehension Convention Engine is a massively integrated and centralized convention organization software system. It is a database and management tool for a single person to comprehend all the known facets of convention planning. The work products of the planning effort take the form of printed or electronic documents.

It was created to address the problems of distributed event planning. A visible symptom of this problem would include such cases where con literature was self contradictory. For example, the program grid might disagree with the text of the program description in the booklet. More seriously, guests may be mistakenly over-booked, material resources may be inconsistently distributed, and generally the plans may be out of sync.

CCE solves this problem by compiling all know data about the con into well structured tables, and rigorously performing the scheduling and usage analysis. It employs Type it once and forget it; methodology. Never type the same information again after the first time. From panelist names to equipment used, data flows from the centralized tables to the final publishable Word document without error. The entire package will be re-generated as needed to insure consistency.

Beta Testing

CCE is in Beta testing until at least January of 2008. The developers are actively seeking beta testers to help shake down the system.
