Frequently asked questions
Can reviewers score submissions?
Formstork stores every proposal in your dashboard where you can tag and export them, then score in your own spreadsheet or review tool. The form collects the proposals, ranking happens on your side.
How long should the abstract be?
That is up to you. Many events ask for 150 to 300 words, so add a note in the field label or intro text to set expectations for speakers.
Can speakers attach slides or a demo video?
The template includes an optional URL field for a link to slides, a recorded talk, or a speaker profile, so reviewers can see prior work.
