Build a Programme Your Delegates Love and Run Every Room on Time

Take talk proposals on your own form, score them with your review panel and Fai, and accept a speaker straight onto your agenda with their advance started. Every speaker's travel, hotel, slides and agreement come back from their own link. Delegates pick their sessions, ask questions from their phone and plan their meetings, and the attendance report shows which talks filled the room.

Build an Agenda With Every Clash Caught Early

Accept a talk and the speaker joins Speakers, the talk takes its place on your agenda with its start time, length and room, and their advance starts. Add a speaker yourself by pasting a LinkedIn link, a public bio page or their bio, and their name, title, company, photo and links are filled in for you to check. Give each room its opening hours and changeover time, and the agenda checks flag the same speaker in two rooms at once, a changeover too short for the room and a flight that lands too late for a talk, each with a fix from Fai you apply or undo in one tap.

  • Accept in one step: the speaker, the agenda slot and their advance
  • Speakers from a link or bio: details filled in for you to check
  • Agenda checks: clashes, changeovers and travel, with fixes from Fai

Get Every Speaker Ready Without Chasing

Each speaker opens their own link to enter their travel and bio, upload their slides and sign their speaker agreement, with no account to make. Fai fills in answers from their replies and forwarded emails and chases what is missing, and you sign off each advance. Send speaker agreements to every speaker at once from one template, hold a hotel block for your speakers and plan each airport pickup with a driver and a vehicle. Send each speaker a welcome pack link with your welcome message, your site rules, their day sheet and their agreement.

  • Speaker advance link: travel, bio, slides and agreement from the speaker
  • Speaker agreements: sent together and signed by email
  • Hotel blocks and pickups: rooms and airport runs for every speaker

Fill Every Session Room Without Overflowing It

Publish your agenda with a photo, bio and links for each speaker on your event page and your own website, and announce speakers in waves at the times you choose. Turn the talks and workshops on your agenda into sessions delegates pick on their order page, each with the places its room holds, a waiting list when it is full and a warning before two picks clash. Delegates add their picks to their own calendar. When a speaker or a room changes, email only the holders of the pass or workshop that change affects.

  • Public agenda: speakers announced when you choose, on your own website too
  • Sessions to pick: places, a waiting list and clash warnings
  • Delegates' own calendars: the sessions each delegate picked

Keep Every Room on Time and Every Session Lively

Plan each room minute by minute in your run of show, name who calls each room and follow Now and next on the day, with how late each room is running. Put now and next on the green room TV from a private link, so speakers know when they are on. Volunteers scan delegates into each session from a link on their phone. In each session, delegates ask and upvote questions and vote in polls from a QR code, your moderator chooses what shows, and the presenter view shows the top questions in large type. Between sessions, delegates find people with shared interests in your attendee directory and book meetings at your tables and times.

  • Run of show: a named caller and Now and next for each room
  • Live Q&A and polls: moderated, with a presenter view
  • Networking: an attendee directory and meetings at your tables
