The conference program
Tracks, rooms and the clashes between them.
A schedule is not a list of talks. It is a set of constraints that only shows you it is broken once the room is full.
Sessions and the schedule
Sessions, tracks and the rooms they collide in.
Talks, panels, workshops and keynotes with abstracts, formats, rooms and times. Group them into tracks in your own order, and you can check it for room and speaker conflicts before you publish.
Attendees reserve seats in sessions, bookmark what they want to see, and get warned when two of their choices clash.

The call for papers
The people who do their own data entry.
Publish a call for papers with your own questions, open and close dates and submission rules. Score proposals, keep reviewer notes, and accept or reject in bulk. The talks you accept become draft sessions with the speaker already attached, ready for you to place.
Confirmed speakers get a private passwordless portal where they complete their profile, upload a headshot and check their session details. They do their own data entry, which is the only version of it that stays current.

Festival programming
Artists, venues and who played when.
A festival programs people and places, not a room grid. Keep a venue directory with a public map, an artist and projects directory, a performer roster with booking history, and credit the guest curators who shaped a strand.
