A call for speakers people actually finish

Every abandoned draft is a talk you never got to consider. Unsession’s forms are easy to start, hard to lose, and painless on a phone.

  • Drafts survive anything. Autosaved from the first keystroke, resumable on any device by link.
  • Ask only what’s relevant. A workshop pitch and a lightning talk each see their own questions.
  • Your brand, your questions. Co-speakers, files, word limits, live and taking proposals in fifteen minutes.

Fair decisions, made in an evening

Give every proposal the same fair read, see the results ranked, and send accept, waitlist, or decline decisions knowing exactly what each speaker will receive.

  • Talks win on merit. Blind review hides names and bios in one toggle, so the work gets judged, not the byline.
  • Your committee flies through the queue. Score with the number keys; a hundred reviews is an evening, not a weekend.
  • No decision leaves unchecked. Every email is previewed and confirmed before it goes out.

Speakers arrive ready — without the chasing

The weeks between “accepted” and stage day are where events go sideways. Give each speaker one link and a clear checklist, and get out of the reminder-email business.

  • One link, zero passwords. Speakers see exactly what’s needed and when, and do it themselves.
  • Slides, headshots, A/V needs. Collected with due dates, landing in your files instead of your inbox.
  • Schedule changes that stick. Calendar invites update themselves when you move a session.

An agenda you can stand behind on stage day

Build the schedule by dragging sessions into place — and catch double-booked rooms and speakers before your attendees do. Publish once, and it’s current everywhere.

  • Conflicts surface instantly. No more cross-checking rooms and speakers by hand.
  • Looks like your event. One brand color becomes a polished, accessible public agenda and speaker directory.
  • Everywhere at once. Your site, embeds, speaker pages, and your team’s tools all stay in sync.

THE QUIET PART

Nothing falls through the cracks.

The real cost of running a call for speakers isn’t the busywork — it’s the dropped balls. The speaker nobody emailed. The room booked twice. The reviewer who quietly stopped. Unsession is built so those don’t happen.

1 place
THE WHOLE PIPELINE

Proposals, reviews, decisions, speaker tasks, and the agenda live together — not spread across a form tool, a spreadsheet, and someone’s inbox.

0 dropped balls
EVERY MESSAGE ON THE RECORD

Every decision, email, task, and schedule change is logged per submission — so “did we tell them?” is always one click away, not an inbox dig.

0 surprises
CONFLICTS CAUGHT EARLY

Double-booked rooms and speakers in two places flag themselves while you’re still dragging sessions around — not during the opening keynote.

FOR AGENTS · MCP + API

Your AI agent can work the CFP with you

Unsession ships a Model Context Protocol server, so Claude Code, Claude, Cursor — anything that speaks MCP — can read your submission queue, pull evaluation scores, accept a talk, add a sponsor session, or move something on the agenda. Same engines, same permissions, same activity log as the admin UI.

  • One command to connect — point your agent at unsession.dev/api/mcp and sign in with OAuth, or mint a token in the admin. Nothing to install or host.
  • Read-only or read-write — an agent you trust to answer questions isn’t the one you trust to send decisions. Read-only tokens can’t even see the write tools.
  • Every write is on the record — the activity log names the token, so “who moved this session?” answers the same for an agent as for a person.
