Sessionize: From idea to 100.000 speakers, and beyond!

Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the story and journey of Sessionize - a go-to platform for event organizers looking to organize and simplify their call for speakers, session management, and schedule creation; and for speakers to manage their speaking profile and easily submit sessions to different events. The founder will spill the beans on how we went from humble beginnings, faced the challenges of the pandemic, to building a thriving SaaS business.

Going the unconventional route, with no outside investments and a small but mighty team, helped keep Sessionize afloat. And keeping things transparent and honest, with a hefty pinch of user experience and automatization, paved the way for product-led growth and the ability to serve events in over 100 countries around the world.

We’ll also tackle the development and technical challenges that came with creating and growing Sessionize, and take a look at the future plans for the platform.
