pretalx is a conference planning tool focused on providing the best experience for organisers, speakers, reviewers, and attendees alike. It handles the submission process with a configurable Call for Participation, the reviewing and selection of submissions, and the scheduling and release handling. After the event, pretalx allows speakers to receive feedback, upload their slides, and organisers to embed recordings.
In short: pretalx takes a conference from "we should do a call for papers" all the way to "here is the published schedule" – and everything in between.
What pretalx does for you:
- Call for Participation – a fully configurable submission process with
- Reviewing & selection – collaborative reviews, scoring, and team-based
- Scheduling – build, version, and release schedules across rooms and
- Speaker communication – templated, queued emails, invitations, and
- Integrations – a documented REST API, an extensible plugin system, and

submissions and contents for a conference with several tracks and conference
days.
