Built for Professional Associations

Find your next great speakers — without the spreadsheet chaos.

Call for Presentations gives your association a branded portal to collect session proposals, score them with volunteer reviewers, and notify every speaker — replacing the Google Forms, spreadsheets, and email threads you're wrestling with today.

📋

Proposals trapped in a Google Form no one else can manage — then copied by hand into a master spreadsheet.

📨

Reviewers scoring by reply-all email, missing deadlines, and asking "which version of the sheet is current?"

Weeks spent writing accept and decline emails one at a time — while speakers wonder if you got their proposal at all.

There's a better way — one system, one workflow, from first proposal to final program.

Features

Everything your speaker selection process needs

From the first submission to the final decision email, every step lives in one place your whole team can see.

Your Own Branded Portal

Speakers submit at yourname.callforpresentations.com — your logo, your colors, your association front and center. Set up in minutes, no IT department required.

Friction-Free Submissions

Speakers submit a complete proposal in under 10 minutes — no account creation required. Custom fields, co-speaker support, file uploads, and autosave so nothing gets lost.

Drag-and-Drop Form Builder

Build your submission form exactly the way your committee wants it — reorder fields, add session types and tracks, and preview live before you open the call.

Weighted Reviewer Scoring

Volunteer reviewers work through their assigned queue with a clean score sheet, weighted criteria, and a Save & Next workflow — no training session needed.

One-Click Decisions

Compare weighted scores side by side, then accept, decline, or waitlist in bulk. Your selection committee sees the same live data — no more dueling spreadsheets.

Templated Notifications

Send personalized accept, decline, and waitlist emails from templates in minutes — not weeks. Every send is logged so you always know who heard what, and when.

"Last year our call for speakers meant three spreadsheets, two hundred emails, and a very tired committee. This year it was one link and a dashboard. Our reviewers actually finished early."

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do speakers need to create an account to submit?

No. Speakers submit through your public portal with no login required — that's a big reason submissions take under 10 minutes. They receive an email confirmation and a link to review their proposal.

How long does setup really take?

Under 30 minutes for most associations: pick your subdomain, upload your logo, set your colors, configure your event and submission form, and open the call. No IT staff or support ticket needed.

Can our volunteer reviewers figure it out without training?

Yes — that's a design requirement, not a marketing line. Reviewers get a personal queue, a clean score sheet with your weighted criteria, and a Save & Next workflow. They see only what they need to score.

Is our association's data kept separate from other tenants?

Yes. Every association operates on its own subdomain with strict data isolation enforced at both the application and database layers. Your submissions, reviewers, and decisions are visible only to your organization.

What happens when the trial ends?

Pick a plan and keep going — your portal, form, and any submissions carry straight over. If you're not ready, your data waits for you. No surprise charges; we never take a card for the trial.

Can we export our data?

Pro plans include CSV and Excel export of your submissions grid, including scores and decisions — handy for building your final program or archiving after the event.

Your next conference deserves better than a spreadsheet.
