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.
Read our extensive feature list in our docs to get a better idea of what pretalx can do for you, but it probably involves everything you'll need to curate submissions and contents for a conference with up to 200 talks.
You can host pretalx yourself, as detailed in our administrator documentation, or use our public instance at pretalx.org.
pretalx is under active development. It supports everything required for talk submission, speaker communication, and scheduling. You can see our supported features in the feature list in our documentation, and our planned features in our open issues. pretalx has regular releases – you can download the latest releases with their respective changelogs on GitHub or install pretalx via PyPI.
