Create exceptional conferences with conference management software

Streamline your speaker proposal process to produce your best conference yet with all-in-one conference management software.

Putting on a conference is already an exercise in managing a million details. Automate and simplify the repetitive, time-consuming tasks in your speaker proposal application and review process, saving everyone involved time and unnecessary frustration. Conference organizers use Submittable’s conference management software to curate and review speaker entries for conferences all over the world.

A quick introduction to Submittable

  • Curate

    Quickly create a branded speaker application portal with clear guidelines and custom forms to collect any type of digital content—no IT expertise required.

  • Collaborate

    Keep all your communication with speakers and reviewers together in one platform. Tools like bulk updates, auto-assignments, and more keep your process organized.

  • Review

    Customize your review process. Use basic thumbs up/down voting, create advanced custom review forms for your team, or hold a public vote.

Make it your own

Personalize your conference's guidelines and submission page with your own branding. Submittable’s conference management software lets you create custom forms to collect exactly the speaker and proposal information you need, including bio, photo, and pitches. Best of all, your custom portal makes it easy to get the word out and attract professional, high-quality speakers who appreciate the convenience of a modern digital process.

Simplify your review process

Organizing the review process for dozens, hundreds, or thousands of entries can be daunting, especially when you have a seemingly endless list of other logistics to manage. Submittable takes the stress out of coordinating a panel of judges or reviewers—no matter their level of involvement or physical location. Every speaker proposal and every communication is in one place, so you know there's seamless communication between all parties from judges to speakers.

Want the public to pick your conference's speakers? No problem. Submittable offers public voting and anonymous voting options for your conference.

Grow your conference and reach new audiences

Watch your conference grow each year, along with your brand visibility and your speaker pool. Add Submittable’s support and marketing services to gain expert advice and get promotional campaign support from concept to completion, helping you grow your reach and run a successful conference year-after-year.

I've worked with different application softwares over the years for both grant management and for other purposes in the office. Submittable provides quick turnaround when you can edit your own forms—and it doesn't require a lot of training to learn how to do that.
