For the conference director answering speakers, sponsors, partners, media, and attendees from the same three mailboxes, the forwarding stops. Every audience gets a lane, every deadline gets a date, and the board survives into next year's edition.
For conferences, CommsOperator puts the speaker and sponsor pipelines, approved outreach sequences, the shared event mailbox, and the operations board in one workspace per event brand. Attendee and speaker lists from EventHash come in by export and import with email matching, so ticket buyers become CRM contacts on the timeline. Call-for-papers applicants are matched back to the outreach that reached them by email. WomenTech Network moved a conference board of 328 tasks across 12 workstreams from Monday.com into it.
Each event brand has its own mailboxes, contacts, pipelines, and boards, with team members added by role. Last year's edition stays one click away instead of mixed in with this one.
Call-for-papers outreach runs as sequences with the deadline written into the template. Sponsor tiers become pipeline stages. Every send waits for a person's approval first.
Import the EventHash attendee list with email matching and ticket buyers become contacts on the timeline. CFP applicants are matched back to the outreach that reached them by email, which is how attribution works when a form strips tracking parameters.
Import the workstream spreadsheet with column mapping, keep your custom fields and statuses, and set recurring pre-event checks so the same reminders do not need re-typing each edition.
Task assignments and overdue tasks, sponsor deal stage changes and wins, and inbox SLA breaches post into the event's Teams channel as cards that link straight to the item.
The conference director whose inbox holds speaker contracts and refund requests at once, and the programme lead who owns the board
Three contact databases and 97 web forms became one CRM of 222,000+ people. Member support, sponsor sales, newsletters, and the conference now run from one workspace.
Sponsor enquiries that once waited as long as 24 days now land with an owner and a clock. Every outreach list is verified before the first email leaves.
Attendee lists land in the CRM with a full timeline, speaker applications are credited to the email that brought them, and the product runs its own feedback loop on the widgets.
Attendee lists from EventHash or any other ticketing platform come in through the public leads API or a CSV import with email matching, so a ticket buyer is a contact with a full timeline the same day. There is no live per-ticket sync today, and we will say when there is.
By email matching. Most CFP forms strip campaign parameters, so CommsOperator joins applicant emails against campaign contacts, with a name fallback, and records the result on the campaign.
For the operations board, yes: WomenTech Network moved 328 tasks across 12 workstreams from Monday.com into CommsOperator tasks. It does not replace the ticketing or session platform; EventHash stays for that.
