Creating a Conference and Call for Papers Built by Speakers for Speakers

Content is still a primary driver for attendance at events – and for conferences and trade shows, the A2Z Portal offers robust and configurable conference and call for proposal tools. The portal makes managing submissions, building session calendars, and coordinating speaker assignments a breeze. For education managers, it allows the design of a proposal process that is intuitive to navigate and provides step-by-step completion criteria – critical elements to a successful and problem-free call for papers. Once a call is complete, the tools are designed to deliver a seamless proposal to session workflow, a tailored session calendar, session management permissions, and a speaker portal to minimize the effort for education teams. The self-service speaker portal allows for speaker profile completion tracking.
