Run your call for speakers. Not your inbox.

Collect talks, review them, build the agenda and send every email — one fast, open-source tool instead of a $40,000 invoice.

Star on GitHub
The organizer dashboard: submission, accepted-speaker and outstanding-task counts, the submission status pipeline, and a list of which speakers to chase first.

Three ways in. Pick a seat.

The product

Everything a call for speakers needs. Nothing it doesn’t.

The same jobs the $40k-a-year tool does, in fewer clicks.

Collect

One public form. Submissions arrive sorted by track.

Decide

Evaluators score. You stage accepts, then send.

Schedule

Drag sessions into rooms. Clashes flag themselves.

Communicate

Templated emails, with the calendar invite attached.

The submissions table: status tabs, staged accept and decline queues waiting to be sent, and every submission with its status, track, format and speakers.

Form builder

Build the call for speakers in an afternoon

A six-step wizard writes your public form — your questions, your tracks, conditional follow-ups.

See the live form
The call-for-speakers form builder: a six-step rail, the submission questions with Required and Enabled toggles, and a note explaining how the Track answer routes a submission.

Agenda

Drag a session into a room. That's the whole thing.

List, day, rooms and conflicts on one board. Double-bookings flag themselves as you drag.

Open the agenda
A recording of the agenda: a session is picked up from the day grid, dragged down the Main Stage column and dropped into a new time slot.

Speaker portal

Speakers keep their own details up to date

One link, no password: they see their talks, their profile and exactly what's still outstanding.

Open the speaker portal
The speaker portal: a speaker's own submissions with their statuses, a profile-completeness checklist, and the tasks they still owe the organizers.

Public program

Your schedule, published the moment you're ready

A fast public schedule with session and speaker pages, personal itineraries and calendar files.

MIT licensed. Your servers, your rules.

Plain words

swyx’s team pays over $40,000 a year for Sessionboard, which they use maybe a third of — so he put $10,000 on the table and asked the internet to kill it.
