Hapsched

What is Hapsched?

Hapsched is a focused, no-frills platform built for one job: helping event organisers list their events and run a clean, fair Call for Papers (CFP) process. No image carousels to fuss over, no bloated ticketing system to configure — just the information that matters, presented clearly, with a workflow that actually fits how conferences, meetups, and hackathons get their talks selected.

The Problem It Solves

Anyone who has organised a conference knows the CFP scramble: submissions land in a shared spreadsheet, reviewers email back and forth, feedback gets lost, and speakers are left wondering if their talk vanished into a void. Meanwhile, most event listing tools are built for ticket sales and flashy banners — not for the messy, human process of finding and vetting great speakers.

Hapsched exists because that gap is real. It separates the event (the public-facing what/when/where) from the CFP (the behind-the-scenes process of collecting, reviewing, and deciding on talks) — and gives each the dedicated workflow it deserves.

How It Works

• List your event — title, dates, description, and a link out to your real registration page. Hapsched doesn’t try to replace your ticketing system; it’s the front door that sends people there.
• Open a Call for Papers — attach a CFP to any event, define your submission window, and let speakers submit proposals directly.
• Invite reviewers — organisers send a simple invite link; reviewers accept, log in, and start scoring submissions without needing admin access to anything else.
• Control visibility — decide whether reviews are private, shared with other reviewers, visible to the submitter, or open to everyone. No more guessing who can see what.
• Keep everyone in the loop — followers get notified when an event goes live; submitters get notified when their status changes. No manual chasing.

Why It’s Useful for Organisers

1. Less spreadsheet juggling. Submissions, reviews, and decisions live in one place instead of scattered across email threads and shared sheets.
2. A fairer process. Structured reviewer roles and configurable visibility mean speakers get evaluated consistently, not just by whoever happened to read their proposal first.
3. Lightweight by design. There’s no image management, no payment processing, no unnecessary complexity — just the tools needed to run a transparent CFP and point people to where they register.
4. Built for trust. Reviewer invites are token-based and tied to verified email logins, so the right people — and only the right people — are making the calls.
5. Organisers stay in control. From publishing an event to reviewing the last submission, the organiser drives every step, with notifications doing the busywork of keeping speakers and followers informed.

The Bigger Picture

Hapsched isn’t trying to be everything for every event. It’s trying to be very good at the part of event organising that’s hardest to get right: finding good talks, reviewing them fairly, and communicating decisions without chaos. For organisers running CFP-driven events — tech conferences, community meetups, hackathon talk tracks — that focus is exactly the point.
