HeySummit's auto-generated speaker and talk promo banners are generated from your event branding, speaker details, and talk details. There is not a layer-by-layer editor for the generated banner itself, but you have several ways to control what organisers and speakers use.
Download the generated banners
Go to Marketing > Promo Graphics, then open the Presenters or Sessions tab. Use the Download menu on a generated image to choose the format you need.
X (Twitter)
Facebook
LinkedIn, where available
Instagram square
Instagram portrait
Vertical Stories, Reels, and TikTok
Presenter and session graphics are paginated, so use the page controls to find people or sessions that are not on the first page.
Set a global speaker/talk promo image
If you want one branded image to replace the generated speaker and talk social sharing image across the event, go to Event Settings > Branding and Site Settings > Branding & Content and upload a Global Speaker/Talk Promo Image. This is used for speaker and talk social sharing images unless a more specific image is set.
Set a speaker-specific or talk-specific image
For a single speaker, use Content & Schedule > Presenters > Actions > Manage Presenter > Media and upload a Social sharing image. For a single talk, use Content & Schedule > Sessions > Actions > Manage Session > Media and upload a Social Sharing Image. These specific images override the global speaker/talk promo image and the auto-generated image for that speaker or talk.
Upload custom promotional assets
If you have designed custom graphics outside HeySummit, you can upload them under Marketing > Promo Graphics. Open the Custom tab, then Shared assets. Uploaded assets are useful when you want speakers, sponsors, or affiliates to download a specific set of files rather than using the generated banner. You can also change the text and branding that generated promo images draw from, such as the event strapline and branding fields, under Event Settings > Branding and Site Settings > Branding & Content. When a custom image replaces a generated banner, its Download menu offers that original image rather than the generated platform formats. If every presenter or session uses the same global image, HeySummit shows one shared image instead of repeating it.
