SPEAKER HUB

Manage speakers: call for papers, review, and scheduling

BagEvent's Speaker Hub runs the whole speaker pipeline in one place — open a call for papers, collect proposals, assign peer reviewers, accept speakers, and schedule their sessions. Accepting a proposal creates the speaker and session automatically. Used by conference programme committees. Available on all plans.

Key features

Speaker portal

Speakers submit proposals through a portal carrying your event branding. They can return later to check status or update their submission without emailing you.

Peer review

Assign reviewers to proposals and collect scores and written recommendations in one view. Reviewers only see what they are assigned.

Chair recommendations

Track chairs mark each proposal accept, maybe, or reject, giving the committee a clear shortlist. Decisions and their reasoning stay attached to the proposal.

One-click accept

Accepting a proposal creates the speaker record from what they submitted and sends the acceptance email in one action, and can place the session on the agenda at the same time — no re-entering details that were already submitted.

Material collection

Speakers upload slides, bios, and headshots through the same portal. Chasing materials by email stops being a separate job.

Speaker library

Every speaker you have worked with stays in an organization-wide library. Inviting a returning speaker to next year's event takes a few clicks.
