If you need to update speaker profiles:

  2. Find the speaker you wish to edit.
  3. Click edit profile next to the name 
  4. Make the necessary changes and click 'Save'
  5. To remove the whole profile, click on 'Delete' or you can also delete directly from the speakers' list

Sort Speakers

You can sort your list of speakers from the admin panel by clicking on Name, Job title, or Company name and they'll be displayed in A-Z alphabetical order.

  • You can see 50 speakers per page
  • By default sort the data by the First Name Ascending A -> Z

Link speakers to the schedule

  • Navigate to the Schedule tab - the content slot you want to attach your speaker to. (Learn how to create your schedule here.)
  • Go to the Speakers tab
  • Search the speaker from the dropdown
  • You can add as many speakers as necessary, as well as any number of roles.

If you notice that your speaker's information is incorrect or the speakers change, you can edit them in the speakers' segment. Any changes you make will reflect in your schedule too.

💡👇

  • The highlighted speakers are different from the featured speakers. Highlighted speakers will be shown when clicking on the 'more info' button of a track while featured speakers are shown for each content slot if the slot is not sponsored. If a slot is sponsored, the sponsor logo will be shown and featured speakers will be visible once clicked on 'more details'.
  • If there are no featured speakers added for content slots, there will be no speakers visible to be selected as highlighted speakers.

⭐ Tip: We recommend adding all speakers first before creating your schedule or adding speakers to your agenda.
