Frequently asked questions

What should a call for speakers form ask?

Ask for the speaker's contact details, talk title, format, track, audience level, an abstract, a short bio and a headshot. A link to a past talk helps reviewers judge delivery.

Every proposal lands in one responses list. Send them to Google Sheets so reviewers can add scores and notes in shared columns.

Can I change the tracks and formats?

Yes. Edit the track and format options to match your event, and use conditional logic to show workshop questions only when someone picks a workshop.
