One of the most critical tasks for any conference organizer is building the session schedule. Not only do you have to figure out how to arrange the sessions so they tell a story, you also have to make sure you don’t put someone in two places at the same time.
Unfortunately, we can’t help you with the story-telling part (at least not yet). We can, however, help you easily check for scheduling conflicts with our new drag-and-drop Scheduling Module.
Some of you may have noticed some changes to the design of the site. We’ve been working on new features and needed a little extra “real estate” in order to keep things from becoming overcrowded. Plus, the average size of monitors (even on laptops) has continued to increase, so why leave all that extra white space unused?
A lot of conferences—especially larger ones—need to split up their review tasks among different groups of reviewers. Up to now, the only way to do that in ProposalSpace was to set up multiple calls, each with its own set of reviewers. Now, call administrators can manage multiple sets of reviewers in a single call!
Our new Publishing Module lets you publish your conference’s session information—including supporting materials—on any website.
Conference organizers can:
Authors can:
Attendees can:
The best part? Any change you make in ProposalSpace shows up immediately on your website.
User profiles can now include photos!
To add a photo to your profile, just sign in to the site, click the “My Account” tab, then click the “Change My Photo” link. You can upload any standard image file (JPEG, GIF, PNG or TIFF) and even scale and crop your photo without the need for photo-editing software.
We’re really excited to announce a new feature in ProposalSpace: text limits.

Call administrators: Have you ever come across a proposal that, for whatever reason, you just want to ignore? Now you can with ProposalSpace!
Simply select “Ignore” (from the Options menu) for any draft proposal or unapproved submission and ProposalSpace will treat it as if it never existed. To see the proposals you’ve chosen to ignore, just click the “Show Ignored” link. And to start tracking an ignored proposal again, just select “Don’t ignore”.
Just a quick note to let everyone know that we’ve updated the data export feature to accommodate the newly expanded, customizable role forms and to include review data.
ProposalSpace has always allowed call admins to customize the terminology used for roles people play in a proposal. You can configure your call to use whatever terms you want… “speakers”, “presenters”, “authors”, “collaborators”, etc.
Now, you can also configure what information you collect about each of those people. Continue reading Custom Role Forms
We’ve just introduced a new feature in ProposalSpace that allows call administrators to assign submissions to individual reviewers.
