Why event managers pick Submitto
Get started on your own in ten minutes.
Submitto builds a spreadsheet from your event. Fill it in, upload it back, and share one link. No demo, no sales call.
Files arrive renamed, with no logins.
Speakers and exhibitors open one link and drop in their files. Each one is named to your pattern and lands in the right session.
See who's missing and remind them.
Your roster shows who has sent files and who hasn't. Remind everyone outstanding in one click, or schedule the reminders.
Hand AV their own link.
Your AV team sees every file grouped by session. They download what they need and flag a problem file before event day, but can't edit anything.
Try it on your next event.
Set up your first event in minutes, then share one link. Submitto renames, sorts, and tracks every file as it lands, so you can stop chasing submissions.
