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 feature list on our main site to get a better idea of what pretalx can do for you, but it typically involves everything you'll need to curate submissions and contents for a conference with several tracks and conference days.

You can host pretalx yourself, as detailed in our administrator documentation, or use our public instance at pretalx.com. If you want to use pretalx, we recommend you follow our blog, where we announce new versions and upcoming features.
