Speaker Series
See how an apply-to-attend speaker series works with waitlists, social proof, and smart data collection.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”When you click through, you’ll see an apply-to-attend landing page designed to attract the right people and collect strategic information.
Waitlist every application
Guests click “Apply to Attend” and you review each one. It’s not about space. It’s about getting the right people in the room.
Show who’s already confirmed
Display names and company logos from early invites. Real social proof that important people are coming.
Strategic data collection
Collect LinkedIn profiles, company stage, industry insights. Build better breakout groups and learn about your market while you plan the event.
Confirm applications manually
Applicants see “Application received” and get an email. You approve them when you’re ready.
Beyond registration
Section titled “Beyond registration”Once applications close, Gatsby helps you run the event and follow up.
Let your team help vet
Share a filtered view of applicants with your speaker or team. They can leave notes on who to approve without seeing your whole event.
Use seating charts for breakouts
Assign attendees to discussion groups instead of tables. Print badges showing each person’s group so they know where to go.
Watermark PDFs automatically
Share slides or materials after the event. Each PDF gets watermarked with the recipient’s name so you know where leaks come from.
Try registration
This example uses a public application link. For people you already know, send private links instead.
Each guest gets a unique URL with a simple Yes/No. Their info appears prefilled from past events, and since links can’t be forwarded, your curated room stays intact.
