ConferenceOS manual

Speaker guide

ConferenceOS supports public CFP submission and organizer-managed review, scheduling, speaker cards, slides, and recap material. A universal self-service speaker portal is not part of the current contract, so use the event's stated communication channel after submission.

ConferenceOS public call for proposals

Figure 1 — The CFP page explains the event and presents a staged speaker and session proposal form.

Submit a proposal

  1. Open /events/<event-slug>/cfp while the call for proposals is open.
  2. Read the event's themes, formats, levels, deadlines, and any example talks.
  3. Enter accurate speaker information, biography, organization, and public profile links.
  4. Describe the session with a clear title, abstract, audience level, format, and learning outcome.
  5. Review every field before submitting and keep the confirmation.

Submit only material you are authorized to present. Do not put confidential employer information, secrets, attendee data, or private contact information in the abstract.

After submission

Organizers review proposals and may accept, decline, or waitlist them. ConferenceOS reviewers score proposals; only organizers make decisions. Use the organizer's contact channel for corrections, co-speaker changes, availability, accessibility, travel, or AV requirements.

Do not create a second submission or account merely to correct a field unless the organizer asks you to.

Published sessions

Acceptance does not make a session public by itself. The organizer must build and publish the schedule. Check /events/<event-slug>/schedule for the public time, room, speaker attribution, and description, and report discrepancies before the event.

Assets, slides, and recordings

ConferenceOS includes organizer-managed speaker-card, slide, session, virtual, and recap tools. The exact upload or delivery workflow varies by event. Use only the links and deadlines provided by the organizer, and verify whether slides or recordings will be public.

Virtual sessions are link-based by default: the event may send attendees to a provider registration, join, or recording URL rather than host a player inside ConferenceOS.

Privacy and rights

Treat reviewer feedback and unpublished decisions as private. Confirm the event's recording, distribution, code-of-conduct, and intellectual-property terms with the organizer before participating.
