Request a Demo Site
Get a sandbox conference to evaluate PaperFox, train your team, or rehearse the review workflow before going live
A demo site is a full-featured conference you can use to explore PaperFox, train co-chairs and reviewers, or rehearse your submission and review workflow — without committing to a real conference.
Submit a Demo Request
- Sign in to your PaperFox account
- Open the site request form — any of these work:
- Click "Request Your Conference for Free" on the paperfox.ai homepage
- Go to Settings → Site Requests and click "Request New Site"
- Visit paperfox.ai/site-requests/new directly
- Under Site Type, select Demo Sandbox. An amber banner appears with submission reminders, and the slug field shows a
demo-prefix so you can see exactly what the URL will become - Fill out the rest of the form with your real conference details (name, dates, subject areas)
- Click "Submit Conference Request"
Help us approve your demo request
- Use your real conference details (name, dates, subject areas). It helps us verify the request and approve faster — vague or placeholder submissions get held up.
- Use your business or institutional email, not a personal one (gmail, hotmail, etc.).
- Describe the evaluation scenario in the Additional Information field (e.g., "Evaluating PaperFox for our 2027 conference", "Training reviewers before go-live").
What Happens Next
Demo prefixes are applied automatically so the conference is clearly identifiable as a sandbox:
| Field | What you entered | Demo conference |
|---|---|---|
| Name | International Conference on AI | [Demo] International Conference on AI |
| Short name | ICAI 2027 | **Demo-**ICAI 2027 |
| Slug (URL) | icai2027 | demo-icai2027 |
The demo is a fully-functional conference — you can create tracks, invite reviewers, submit test papers, and run the review cycle end to end.
Demo data does not carry over
Treat the demo purely as a sandbox for learning. When you're ready to run your real conference, submit a new site request with Real Conference selected — configuration, submissions, and reviews from the demo are independent and will not migrate automatically.
