r/conferences

I’m looking for recommendations on what to do during a 3 hour break ata conference. I’m down by the convention center and have an intermission from 10-1. What event, thing, or food should I try?

We run a yearly member conference and speaker submissions have become the most frustrating part of planning. People submit incomplete proposals, reviewers miss deadlines, session approvals get buried in email threads, and then presenters keep asking for updates.

The actual event feels easier than the submission process at this point.

How can we makes this smoother, especially for recurring conferences.
