As you create your event, you may be wondering how to add speakers. Here are straightforward steps to assist you. Once added, you can then schedule the sessions they will host and feature them on your event site.
Simply navigate to Content > Speakers.
Click on Add Speaker.
Make sure you fill in at least the First Name and Email fields as these are mandatory. The other fields, including setting up a talk for the Speaker, are optional. Speaker details can be edited later under Content > Speakers > ... Manage Speaker (bio, website, social links, etc.). Talks can be added later under Content > Talks.
Press Save.
Ready to allow Speakers access to their dashboard where they can make edits to their information themselves? More information can be found in this help document on setting up Speaker access.
For the Speaker to appear on your public event site, they will have to have the Active? box checked in Content > Speakers > ... > Manage Speaker. They will also have to be linked to an active talk.
