Use the Talk Submission page when you want to invite people to propose talks for your event. Once enabled, speakers can submit a proposal through a public form, and you can review those submissions from your dashboard.
Go to Setup > General and click Update Event Settings.
In the Allow Talk Submissions? section, enable Allow Talk Submissions? and click Save.
You can also enable Hide Footer Link? if you want the submission page to stay available by direct link without being linked from your event footer. For in-person events, you can optionally ask submitters for a venue preference and restrict which venues they can choose.
If the footer link is visible, a link will appear on your event footer: Submit a Talk for Consideration.
Speakers can use the submission page to fill out the form and propose a talk. The form uses your event's talk-submission text, and fields such as talk date, duration, broadcast preference, and venue preference appear only when those event settings apply.
As the event organiser, you will receive an email once a new proposal has been submitted.
You can view submissions by going to Content > Talk Submissions.
From there, you can edit, approve, or delete each submission. Approving a submission makes the talk active and creates or updates the speaker profile from the submitted details, then links that speaker to the talk.
Looking to customise the speaker submission form?
The Talk Submission page is customised through translations rather than the landing-page editor. Go to Content > Translations, use the category dropdown, and select Talk Submit Suggestion. You can also use the search field to find individual phrases from the submission page.
You will see the editable text strings for the Talk Submission page, with a replacement field beside each one. Enter your replacement text and click Save for each phrase you change. To hide a phrase, enter a single space as the replacement and save it.
