    1. <input type="hidden" name="resume_search" value="0" />
    2. <input type="text" name="searchtags[]" />
    3. <button type="submit">Search!</button>
  2. </form>

Getting Values to Build a Select for Topic, Speakers, or Industry Experience

If you want to show a dropdown list of available topics, speakers, or industry experience as a part (or all) of a form, you can get the data in JSON form at this URL:
  1. https://www.espeakers.com/s/xxx/index/sitelists
This returns a JSON object which is easy to consume with JavaScript to build select elements. The data looks like:
  1. {
    1. "idustries": {
      1. "1": {
        1. "name": "Advertising",
        2. "n_speakers": 3,
        3. "tag": "industry_1"
      2. },
      3. "2": {
        1. "name": "Agriculture",
        2. "n_speakers": 3,
        3. "tag": "industry_2"
      4. }
    2. },
    3. "topics": {
      1. "273": {
        1. "name": "Accountability",
        2. "n_speakers": 6,
        3. "tag": "topic_273"
      2. },
      3. "255": {
        1. "name": "Adventurers",
        2. "_speakers": 13,
        3. "tag": "topic_255"
      4. },
    4. "speakers": {
      1. "3438": {
        1. "name": "Craig Karges",
        2. "tag": "speaker_3438"
      2. },
      3. "3507": {
