Getting Started

To get the most out of CFP Manager you're going to want to make sure you have at least one organization and any number of speakers and call for papers to be used with events.

Organizations​

An organization is the top-level container for all your events, speakers, and CFPs. Click the "Organizations" link in the navigation menu to get started. For full details on fields, roles, and membership management, see the Organizations page.

Speakers​

Speakers store the profile information used when submitting sessions to events. Note that speakers are separate from users — a speaker is a presenter, not necessarily someone who logs into the application. For full details on fields and submission history, see the Speakers page.

Call for Papers (CFPs)​

A CFP is a reusable session proposal that can be submitted to any number of events. For full details on fields and submission history, see the Call for Papers page.

Events​

Events represent the conferences and meetups you submit to and attend. Each event can track multiple CFP submissions across different speakers, and includes a trip report for post-event notes. For full details, see the Events page.
