Create a speaker form in Slidecrew to collect information or signatures from speakers and moderators, then choose who receives it and how you want to review the responses.
Short answer: Create the form under Event → Forms, choose whether it applies per speaker, presentation or moderator, then add content and question blocks in the Form Editor. You can filter the form’s audience, review each submission as a PDF or link, export form statistics to a spreadsheet, and copy forms to another event if you are an Admin or Organiser.
Create a form for speakers or moderators
Create the form from the event’s Forms page, then give it a name and choose its type.
- Navigate to Event in the top menu, then select Forms.
- Click the add button.
- Enter a Form name and select a Type.
- Click Save.
After you save the form, Edit Form and the Custom Filter table become active.
Choose who receives the form
The form type determines whether each person receives it once or once for each presentation or session.
| Type | Who receives it and when |
|---|---|
| Per speaker per presentation | Each speaker sees the form once for each of their presentations |
| Once per speaker | Each speaker sees the form once, regardless of how many presentations they have |
| Per moderator per session | Each moderator sees the form once for each of their sessions |
| Once per moderator or speaker | Each person sees the form once |
ePoster Submitters are treated as Speakers for form assignment.
By default, the form goes to all attendees of the selected type. To narrow the audience, select the form, add a row in the Custom Filter table, set its On, Where, Condition and Value columns, then click Save.
Add content and response fields to the form
Open the form in the Forms list and click Edit Form.
In the Form Editor, drag blocks from the left panel into the editing area, then click Save.
The blocks are grouped by what they add to the form:
