      Call for Papers Q&A

       

      Question: Is there a limit to how many applications you can accept?

      Answer: Currently, there are no application limitations (submission limits). However, we may add a submission limit in the future.

      -----

      Question: Can you export the applications from the tool?

      Answer: Event planners' accepted applications are currently transferred into the Sched event site they're associated with. Once there, they can be exported using the available export options. Only applications that have been accepted and transferred into Sched can be exported. Applications that have been rejected or are still pending, as well as information about speakers, will not be transferred.

      -----

      Question: Will the approved application replace the speakers already added to the event?

      Answer: Whatever is submitted in the Call For Papers application from an approved speaker will override whatever is in Sched for the Speaker profile.

      -----

      Question: Will speakers receive a confirmation once their application is approved?

      Answer: Once the application status changes to 'Final Confirmation', the speaker will receive an email confirmation.
