Building a Better Call for Proposals Process

When eduWeb decided it was time to revamp their call for proposals process, they used Formstack as a data hub to keep track of all the moving pieces.
 

Challenge

Collecting, tracking, and storing data from more than 100 speakers is not a simple task. Data can easily get lost or distorted, especially when using multiple tools. As eduWeb transitioned their event from physical to virtual, they decided it was time to revamp their call for proposal process. Their main goal was to find one system that could manage all their conference data and directly integrate with their most-used systems.

Solution

Formstack was used across their organization as their conference data center, housing information on everything from speakers to scholarship applicants. They created a seamless call for proposals application process using Conditional Logic, custom branding, and Save and Resume. Upon submission, speaker applicants receive a personalized submission page, and data is pushed through the MailChimp integration to add speakers to specific email lists.
