**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.
