Call for papers

The call for papers (CFP) is a submission form plus a window during which authors can submit.

The submission form

Under Forms, your submission form defines the questions authors answer — title, abstract, keywords, paper upload, and anything else you need. Build it with the form builder. Creating a submission form automatically creates its linked review and decision forms, so the whole pipeline is wired up for you.

When AI is enabled, the builder's Suggest questions button proposes fields tailored to your event.

Opening the CFP

Two things must be true for authors to submit:

1. The submission form is published (open the form and click Publish).
2. The submission window is open — set the open/close dates under Settings → Visibility.

Authors then submit at /events/your-event-slug/submit.

What authors see

• A track picker, an author/co-author list, and file uploads are handled for you.
• Authors can save a draft and finish later, and edit until the deadline.

Screening tip: on any submission, admins can run an AI CFP check (fit to your scope, abstract completeness, empty fields) and an AI duplicate check — both advisory. See AI features.
