Your profile and Reviewer History
What your profile page shows, including Reviewer History, the list of every conference and program you have reviewed for.
Purpose
Your profile collects everything the platform knows about you as a researcher: bio, research interests, career and education, Reviewer Profile, Reviewer History and publications.
When you use it
- Before volunteering to review or accepting an invitation, to check what chairs will see.
- To see every conference and program you have reviewed for, all in one place.
Walkthrough
- 1
Open your profile from the avatar menu, or go to My Profile. To change any section, click Edit Profile.
- 2
The Reviewer Profile box is always on your own profile. Its checklist shows whether you are ready to sign up as a reviewer: name, organization, at least one education entry (degree and institution), title, country, research interests, at least one expertise area, and an expertise statement of 100 or more characters. A scholarly record (a publication or an ORCID, Google Scholar or DBLP link), relations and conflicts, and a validated professional email are listed too, as optional. Click Complete Reviewer Profile to jump to those fields in the editor.

If you started a reviewer sign up and did not finish it, a banner at the top offers Continue sign up. If a co-author committed you to review when submitting a paper, you have a Complete reviewer profile task; it closes by itself once the checklist is complete and you save.

Reviewer History sits below the Reviewer Profile. It lists each conference where you held a reviewing role (Reviewer, PC Member, External Reviewer, Area Chair or Senior Area Chair), newest first.
- 5
Each entry shows the conference dates, its location, and whether it was In person, Hybrid or Virtual, followed by the programs you reviewed for and your role in each. Sub-programs such as workshops are shown under their parent's name.
Professional email
Add your university or company address under Professional email in Edit Profile, below your sign in email. To get there, click your avatar at the top right of any page and choose Settings. This is your own account page, not part of any console, so the Conference Leadership Console and the other consoles have no email setting of their own.
If you signed up with a university or registered company address, you don't need to do anything: once your profile is saved, that address is added as your professional email automatically and shows Validated, with no confirmation link, because you already confirmed it when you created your account. You can still replace it with another address.
- 1
Type the address. A note tells you at once whether it is from a university or a registered company we recognize. Personal addresses (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and the like) and temporary ones can't be used.
- 2
Click Save and send link. We email a confirmation link to that address; open it within 24 hours. If it doesn't arrive, click Resend link.
- 3
Once confirmed, an address from a recognized university or company shows Validated. A confirmed address at a domain we don't recognize shows Confirmed, domain not recognized.
Your profile header shows your organization, then your sign in email, then your professional email; a green shield means it is validated. You see it there as soon as you save it, while other signed-in members see it only once you have confirmed it. It is not shown on your public author page. Once confirmed, organizers can find you by it in Search Existing User (for example when inviting you to a committee); the invitation still goes to your sign in email. Program chairs may also see it when you volunteer to review. If it is not validated, they are asked to check your profile before approving you.
Sign in with your professional email
If you signed up with a personal address (such as Gmail) and later confirmed your professional email, you can make the professional address the one you sign in with. It is the same account: your conferences, roles (including the Conference Leadership Console), papers, reviews and password stay as they are. Only the address you type at sign in changes.
- 1
Sign in with the address you use today. Click your avatar at the top right and choose Settings to open Edit Profile.
- 2
Find Professional email in your personal details, below your sign in email. If the address isn't confirmed yet, enter it and open the confirmation link we email to it.
- 3
A confirmed address that is not your sign in email shows Use this address to sign in. Click it, read what changes, and click Send the link.
- 4
Open the link we email to your professional address within one hour. The change happens when you open it. Until then you keep signing in with your current address.
- 5
You are signed out everywhere. Sign in with your professional email and your current password. Your old address no longer works for sign in. We send a notice to both addresses.
An organizer may have invited you at your professional address before it was linked to your account, which made a second account for it. The switch moves that account's roles to you and closes it. If that second account holds papers, reviews or registrations, the switch stops and asks you to contact AirBalloon support, who will merge the two accounts.
The console belongs to the account that created the conference, not to an email address. If you created a conference while signed in with one address (say a Gmail address) and now sign in with another, you are signed in to a different account. Sign in with the address you used when you created the conference, confirm your current address as your professional email, and use Use this address to sign in as described above. From then on you sign in with your current address and the console is there.
Tips
Only active roles are listed. A pending invitation, or a sign-up still waiting for a chair's approval, appears once it is accepted. Conferences their organizers have deleted are left out.
Open a conference's Portal from All Conferences and choose Reviewer to volunteer.
