Speaker Submit
Collect speaker proposals for a conference or meetup.
Overview
Running a call for papers means collecting consistent proposals from every prospective speaker. This free NodumForms template gives you a structured submission form for conferences and meetups: speaker bio, talk abstract, topic area, and audience level, all captured the same way each time. Instead of proposals scattered across emails in different formats, you get a tidy, comparable set of submissions your programme committee can review and shortlist with ease.
This template gathers everything your committee needs to evaluate a talk. Short-text fields capture the speaker's name, organisation, and contact email, while a long-text field collects a bio. The proposal itself comes through a talk title, a long-text abstract, a single-select topic or track, and a single-select audience level such as beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Every submission lands in your NodumForms dashboard, where the Individual view shows each full proposal, the Table view lines up titles and tracks for comparison, and a live count tracks entries as your call-for-papers deadline approaches.
NodumForms helps you brand the call and review submissions as a team. Apply your conference colours, a logo, and a cover image through Styles, and save the look to reuse for future events. Share the submission link in your call for papers or embed it on the event site so speakers apply in context. Real-time collaboration with shared responses lets your programme committee review proposals together, with field locks to avoid editing clashes. Export all submissions to CSV to score and shortlist offline, then build your agenda from the selected talks. TLS encryption and server-side validation keep submissions secure and complete.

Turn a call for papers into a shortlist
Conference organisers, meetup leads, and event programme committees use this form. Picture a regional tech conference opening submissions: speakers send their bio, abstract, track, and level through the embedded form, the committee opens shared responses to rate proposals together, and a CSV export drives the shortlisting meeting where the final agenda takes shape.

FAQ
- Can the programme committee review proposals together?
- Yes. Real-time collaboration lets multiple committee members view shared responses and work on the form at the same time, with field locks to prevent clashes while editing the submission form.
- Can speakers indicate the level of their talk?
- Yes. Add a single-select field for audience level, such as beginner, intermediate, or advanced, alongside a topic or track field, so proposals are easy to group and balance across your agenda.
