This CFP is meant to make a speaker pool to allow organizers from around the globe to draw from for their events.
This will likely not function as a solution for ALL events, and is not meant as such.
Pro's:
- Easier for those without big enough networks
- Easier for managing your events (finding ad-hoc speakers, finding specific types of content)
- After a while, the list can be used as an "address book" to find speakers on specific topics
Con's:
- People won't be submitting specifically to your event and you might miss some fields that are too specific to put on a generic CFP.
- Speakers would need to be encouraged from time to time to submit any new sessions they would have
