I see this very similar to how various devrooms get managed for FOSDEM (which I'm also involved in): https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/tracks/ There's a common CFP management system, but folks submit with an eye towards a particular devroom (or a set of devrooms). For example, a Bigdata devroom I am co-organizing this year had its own CFP landing page: https://hpc-bigdata-fosdem17.github.io/ The most challenging bit is figuring out where do you put presentaitons that span multiple topics. That requires a coordination on the part of the folks responsible for putting together a schedule for each devroom. E.g. in our case we had a talk about big data graph analytics implemented on top of PostgreSQL -- it ultimately ended up in Graph devroom, but it could've ended up in either of the 3. Thanks, Roman.
