Stage
Speakers & Presenters
Stage manages the full speaker lifecycle: CFP submissions, review, speaker portals, session assignments, agreements, orientation, and post-event impact reports, in one connected module. Your speakers get a better experience. You get your inbox back.
The Problem
Speaker management is a full-time job hiding in your inbox.
You're tracking proposals in a spreadsheet, confirming speakers over email chains, collecting bios through Google Forms, chasing down signed agreements, sending two calendar links for orientation and hoping people pick the right one, and manually updating your website every time someone changes their headshot. When a speaker updates their bio, you update it in three places. Session assignments live in someone's head. After the event, speakers never hear from you again because you're too exhausted to follow up.
Stage fixes the whole thing, from the first CFP click to the speaker's post-event impact report.
Proposal review is scattered across email, forms, and spreadsheets
Speakers have no self-service way to manage their own information
Speakers leave your event with no proof their session mattered
How Stage Works
From the first CFP click to the post-event Speaker Pulse, one connected module covers every step.
Collect proposals
Public Call for Proposals page with no account required. Submitters provide title, abstract, format, topics, and their bio. Configure deadlines, submission limits, and custom formats. Everything lands in your review pipeline.
Review and accept
Kanban-style review board: Received, Under Review, Accepted, Declined. Multi-reviewer scoring on a 1-10 scale. Accept a proposal and Stage automatically creates the speaker record AND a draft session. No duplicate data entry. No copy-pasting bios.
Empower speakers
Every accepted speaker gets a unique portal link with no login required. They update their profile, upload slides, sign their agreement, RSVP to Greenroom briefings, and see their session assignments in one place. Changes reflect everywhere in Gythr instantly.
Deliver Speaker Pulse
After your event, speakers receive an AI-generated Speaker Pulse report, the only post-event impact report in the category. They see who came, what resonated, and what they did well. They share it. Their network sees your event.
Introducing Speaker Pulse
The first post-event impact report that speakers actually want to read.
Most speakers leave a conference and never know if they were good. The organizer is too busy tearing down the venue to send thoughtful feedback. The audience is already on a plane. Whatever the speaker learned from the experience evaporates within 48 hours.
Speaker Pulse fixes this. After your event, every speaker gets a personalized AI-generated report delivered to their speaker portal. Their session's impact, told as a story they can share.
What's in a Speaker Pulse
- Attendance and bookmarks. How many people showed up, how many had bookmarked the session in advance.
- Session ratings. Aggregated feedback from Echo, your attendees' in-session feedback tool.
- Q&A summary. AI-summarized themes from the questions the speaker was asked.
- Audience snapshot. Aggregated, anonymized demographics showing the kinds of roles and companies represented in the room.
- Shareable highlight post. A "my session in numbers" social graphic speakers can share to LinkedIn, Threads, or wherever their network lives.
Speakers get a web version inside their portal, a PDF export for their own records, and a shareable social post. The report is aggregated and anonymized. No individual attendee data is ever exposed.
Why this changes speaker recruiting forever
The best speakers are the ones other events compete for. Every organizer wants them. Most events offer exactly the same thing: a stage, an honorarium if you're lucky, and a "thanks for coming" email.
Gythr offers something nobody else does. When you pitch a speaker on Gythr, you can tell them: "After your session, you'll get a Speaker Pulse report you can share with your network. Not vanity metrics. Real impact. Something you can use."
That's not a feature. That's a reason to say yes to your event over someone else's.
Speaker Pulse. Because the people who showed up to speak for you deserve to leave knowing they mattered.
Everything Stage Can Do
Public Call for Proposals
Shareable CFP submission page. Configure deadlines, formats, topics, and per-person submission limits. No account required to submit.
Review pipeline
Four-column kanban board with drag-and-drop status changes. Multi-reviewer scoring with averages. Accept a proposal and Stage automatically creates the speaker record and draft session.
Speaker roster
Full speaker database with bios, headshots, titles, companies, social links, topic tags, and per-event role assignments (speaker, host, panelist, moderator, MC).
Speaker portal
Token-authenticated self-service portal. No login, no password. Speakers edit their profile, upload materials, sign agreements, RSVP to Greenroom, and view their session assignments.
Session assignment and roles
Assign speakers to sessions with per-session role management. Roles display on the public schedule and speaker pages automatically.
Greenroom
Stop juggling calendar invites. Greenroom is where speakers RSVP to your pre-event briefings, orientations, and rehearsals from inside their own portal. You create the time slots. They pick the one that works. Everyone gets a reminder for the session they're actually attending.
Agreement tracking
Basic speaker agreements with in-portal signing. Organizers enter the terms, speakers confirm and sign. Full PDF agreement support rolling out 2026.
Material management
Speakers upload slides, handouts, and videos through their portal. All materials organized by session and accessible to organizers.
Public speaker page
Beautiful speaker grid for attendees with headshots, bios, topic tags, linked sessions, social links, and role badges.
Speaker Pulse reports
AI-generated post-event impact reports for every speaker. Aggregated, anonymized, and shareable.
Connected Modules
Speaker data flows into every other Gythr module automatically.
Agenda
Speakers are assigned to sessions with per-session roles. When Agenda changes a session, the speaker's portal updates automatically. Host Cards pull speaker bios and intros directly from Stage.
Gate
Speaker and attendee data sit in the same system so organizers have a complete picture of everyone at the event, not just two disconnected lists.
Signal
CFP pipeline stats (received, accepted, declined, accept rate), review scores, and Speaker Pulse data feed into Signal's analytics automatically.
Comms
Proposal acceptance and decline notifications, orientation reminders, and speaker updates flow through Comms for automated email delivery.
Echo
Session ratings and attendee feedback collected through Echo flow into Speaker Pulse reports, giving speakers the first and only real measure of how their session landed.
Gythr Here
Speaker profiles and session details appear in the attendee app so attendees can see who's speaking, when, and where.
