Speaker Proposal Evaluation & Content Curation
Score speaker proposals and build balanced conference tracks automatically
What You Can Do
Systematically evaluate speaker proposals using customizable weighted criteria, automatically identifying imbalanced content tracks and recommending selections. Generate personalized, professional acceptance and rejection feedback that provides constructive guidance to speakers, helping your conference committee make consistent, data-driven decisions while reducing manual review time.
Features
Define and apply custom evaluation criteria (speaker expertise, topic relevance, presentation quality, diversity factors) with individual weights to produce objective proposal scores.
Detect topic distribution across proposals and identify gaps or overrepresentation in your conference tracks to ensure balanced, diverse programming.
Create thoughtful, constructive acceptance and rejection messages tailored to each proposal, highlighting strengths and areas for growth.
Process dozens or hundreds of proposals in parallel, comparing scores and generating recommendations across your entire submission pool.
Track speaker demographics, experience levels, and underrepresented topics to ensure your lineup reflects an inclusive audience and diverse perspectives.
Identify competing proposals (same topic, overlapping speakers) and surface conflicts for manual resolution by your committee.
Generate executive summaries showing acceptance rates, track composition, reviewer notes, and recommendations for final committee discussions.

Dear Marco,
Thank you for submitting "Intro to React Testing." Your proposal demonstrated solid technical knowledge and a well-structured outline.
Unfortunately, we received several advanced testing talks this year and needed to prioritize more specialized content for our audience. We'd love to see an expanded version covering performance testing or integration strategies for future conferences.
Keep submitting — we see potential!
