About pretalx

Pretalx is a web-based conference management system that handles the entire submission and scheduling workflow. It lets organizers manage call for papers, review submissions, build a schedule, and communicate with speakers. The tool is built with Python and Django, offering a clean interface for both organizers and submitters.

Pretalx supports importing and exporting data in various formats like JSON, iCal, and XML. It integrates with pretix for ticket sales and can be extended via plugins. The platform runs on any server with Python and a database, and it can be self-hosted or used through the pretalx.com hosted service.

This tool is ideal for conference organizers who want full control over their CfP process without vendor lock-in. It is released under the Apache 2.0 license and has been used by events like FOSDEM, EuroPython, and many community conferences worldwide.
