Managing Your Speaker Dashboard

Written by Benjamin Dell

Your Speaker Dashboard is where you can review information from the event organiser, update your speaker profile, manage your sessions, and collect promotional materials. What you can edit depends on the organiser's settings. If an option is missing, the organiser may be managing that part of the event for you.


​

Access your Speaker Dashboard

  1. Open the speaker invite email from the event organiser.

  2. Follow its link. If HeySummit asks you to set or reset a password, complete that step and return to the dashboard link.

  3. Bookmark the dashboard after signing in.

You can also choose Speaker Dashboard from the event site's account menu when signed in. If you cannot find the invite, sign in, or see the event, contact the organiser.

Understand the Home summary

Speaker Dashboard Home showing attendee bookings and referred registrations as separate totals


​

  • Attendees booked into your talks counts attendees registered for your sessions, regardless of who referred them.

  • Your referred registrations counts completed event registrations credited to your personal referral link.

The two numbers measure different things, so they do not need to match. Share your personal referral link when you want registrations to be credited to you.


​

Review your speaker profile

Use Review and update on Home to check the information attendees see on your public speaker page. Depending on the event settings, you may be able to update your name, email, company, title, timezone, bio, expertise, social links, headshot, profile images, and intro video.


​

Manage your sessions

Open My Sessions to review your sessions. Depending on organiser settings, you may be able to preview the public page, edit the description, add handouts or links, choose or request a time, and manage video, broadcast, or replay details. Some broadcast settings remain organiser-only, including webinar integrations, speaker join URLs, chat embedding, reminders, and playback settings. Contact the organiser when you cannot edit something you need changed.


​

Use the dashboard menu

  • Open Slots: choose from organiser-created times when the event uses open-slot scheduling.

  • Insights & Data: review available attendee, page-view, registration, or attendee-record data.

  • Offers and Giveaways: add offers, giveaways, or bonuses.

  • Swipe Copy: copy promotional text prepared by the organiser.

  • Media Assets: download event graphics and other shared files.

  • FAQs: read event-specific answers from the organiser.


​

Understand Insights & Data

These figures can differ because they count bookings and people differently.

  • Completed session registrations: if the organiser has enabled insights, this chart shows current completed bookings, counted once per session. Someone booked into two of your sessions contributes two bookings. Unfinished checkouts and removed session selections are excluded, so this is not a permanent history of every booking ever made.

  • Attendee downloads: if the organiser also allows downloads, each eligible attendee appears once across your sessions. The download includes completed registrations and follows the event's attendee-sharing and consent settings. Its row count can therefore be lower than the session-registration total.


​

Access the event as a speaker

Your speaker login also lets you access event content. You do not need a separate attendee ticket just to watch other sessions while signed in with your speaker account. If the organiser has enabled a private chat inbox for speakers, you may also see an inbox on the dashboard.
