Make a call for speakers form for your conference or meetup
Build a call for speakers form for your conference or meetup: title, abstract, level, bio, past talks and consent. Share a link and read proposals.
Apply for the role

This is a real form: answer it the way a visitor would. Nothing is saved.
Use this template Describe yours in chatOpen full screenMore to start from: all form, quiz and course templates. Nothing is published until you press Publish, and every answer lands in your account with charts and a CSV.
Organisers usually get proposals in whatever shape the speaker chooses: an email, a DM, a half-filled document. Comparing them is slow when abstracts, levels and bios sit in different places. This page builds a call for speakers form around your event; the live sample above is a general job application, and the chat reshapes it into a speaker form for your case.
What you get
Questions that appear only when needed
Ask for links to past recordings only when a speaker says they have spoken before. Each proposal then arrives with the fields that apply to it, and you are not asking first-time speakers for information they do not have.
Logic and pages
Show a follow-up only when it applies, split a long form into pages, or show one question per screen.
Results you can read
A chart for every question, averages and NPS for scales, the order of a ranking, a table of every answer and a CSV.
How it works
- Step 1
Try the sample above, then press Use this template, or describe your own form to the chat.
- Step 2
Change any question by hand or ask the assistant ("add a question about price", "translate it to Spanish"), with a live preview.
- Step 3
Publish, share the link or QR code, and read the answers as they arrive. You get an email for each one.
Who uses it
Conference organisers running one call for proposals
Collect every abstract in one results table, with levels and talk lengths, then download the CSV and score the proposals in your spreadsheet.
Meetup organisers who take a talk from a member each month
Use a short form with a response limit, so submissions close once you have enough options for the next session.
Community leads building a pool of speakers for future events
Add a consent question so bios can be kept and reused on future schedules, and only with each person's agreement.
Questions
Can speakers upload their slides through the form?
No. The form has no file upload field. Ask for a link to an outline, draft deck or repository in a short text question, and speakers can paste a link to their slides once they have them.
How do I stop getting more proposals than I can review?
Set a response limit so the form closes automatically at the number you set. You can also close the form manually when your review window ends.
Where do the proposals go?
Each submission appears on the results page with charts for the choice questions, and you can download everything as a CSV. You can also turn on an email for each response so you see proposals as they come in.
How much personal information should a speaker form ask for?
Only what you need to contact speakers and build the schedule: name, email, a bio and perhaps a company or city. You are responsible for what you collect, so leave out home addresses and anything you would not want to store.
How do I share the form?
Publish it and you get a link and a QR code. Put the link in your event site, your mailing list or a social post, and the QR code on printed material at a meetup.
