Manage meetings and committees digitally

Visit OpenSlides

OpenSlides is web-based software for organizing meetings and committees, covering agendas, speaker lists, motions, elections, participant administration, and electronic voting. All users access their committees and meetings through a single URL. It is developed as open source software, with source code and development processes publicly available, and can be self-hosted or used through cloud and SaaS services.

The platform includes an Online Voting module for live and online elections, with secret ballots, unlimited voting rounds, flexible accounts, list elections, result backup, and protocols. Conference Management handles motion processes, participant management, differentiated rights, agendas, speaking lists, and files. Committee Management supports complex organizational structures, motion forwarding, meeting templates, duplicate and closed meetings, public meeting access, and single sign-on. Additional capabilities include autopilot, comprehensive exports, custom design, chat, voting and polls, livestream integration, and responsive browser-based access.

OpenSlides is packaged as three SaaS editions: Online Voting, Conference Management, and Committee Management. Accounts are flexible or fixed in quantity, with minimum hosting durations ranging from 14 days to 12 months depending on the edition. Support options include FAQ, email, telephone, on-call service, and support during meetings or elections. Hosting is ISO 27001-certified in Germany, with HTTPS, separate containers per instance, and optional on-premise deployment.
