03 · ONBOARD<br>Speakers arrive ready — without the chasing<br>The weeks between “accepted” and stage day are where events go sideways. Give each speaker one link and a clear checklist, and get out of the reminder-email business.<br>✓One link, zero passwords . Speakers see exactly what’s needed and when, and do it themselves.<br>✓Slides, headshots, A/V needs . Collected with due dates, landing in your files instead of your inbox.<br>✓Schedule changes that stick . Calendar invites update themselves when you move a session.

THE QUIET PART<br>Nothing falls through the cracks.<br>The real cost of running a call for speakers isn’t the busywork — it’s the dropped balls. The speaker nobody emailed. The room booked twice. The reviewer who quietly stopped. Unsession is built so those don’t happen.<br>1 place<br>THE WHOLE PIPELINE<br>Proposals, reviews, decisions, speaker tasks, and the agenda live together — not spread across a form tool, a spreadsheet, and someone’s inbox.

0 dropped balls<br>EVERY MESSAGE ON THE RECORD<br>Every decision, email, task, and schedule change is logged per submission — so “did we tell them?” is always one click away, not an inbox dig.

0 surprises<br>CONFLICTS CAUGHT EARLY<br>Double-booked rooms and speakers in two places flag themselves while you’re still dragging sessions around — not during the opening keynote.
