Conference Session Proposal
Events
Collect CFP talks with track, format, abstract, and speaker context the program committee can score.
A CFP inbox that only asks for a title collects talks nobody can schedule. This template makes speakers name a track, a format, and an abstract the program committee can actually score.
Who it is for
Conference producers, community orgs, and in-house summits that still review talks in a spreadsheet.
When to use it
Publish it when you are taking speaker submissions. Speaker Request is the opposite direction — someone inviting you. Workshop Registration is for attendees, not proposers.
What this form collects
Speaker identity, title, track, format, a required abstract, optional bio, and an optional outline file.
- Annual user conference CFP
- Internal tech-talk call for sessions
- Community unconference proposal desk

Frequently asked questions
Can speakers propose more than one session?
Ask them to submit once per talk. Duplicate titles are easier to spot than a single form that tries to hold three abstracts.
Should I require a slide deck up front?
Keep the file optional until you accept. A required deck kills first-time speakers who only have an outline.
Can I change the tracks after I clone this?
Yes. Edit the dropdown, or ask Customize with AI for the tracks you actually run this year.
