Before you start adding images, you would like to know: what size should they be?
We suggest you compress images, keeping them at 96 ppi and make them as small as will work for your needs to optimise page load times
To help them look their best, minimise any white space in images
For images which are not specified below, we encourage you to play around with the size so that they appear as you want within our platform's native layout. Generally speaking, we suggest 500x500 px for square images and 500x146 px for rectangle images.
Do note, that image sizes cannot exceed 10MB.
Event Logo/Event Logo (white)
Where these are added: Event Setup > Settings > Branding & Content
Where these are seen: Event site header, emails, promotion materials
Size suggested: 120 x 600 pixels. We encourage users to stick as closely to a rectangular design as many areas of the site are optimized for this. Often, organisers wonder why the HeySummit Logo appears larger than theirs. The trick is to have a rectangle logo and fill in the space with very little white space.
Examples:
Landing page:
Email template:
Favicon

Global Speaker/Talk Promo Image: Event Setup > Settings > Branding & Content
Speaker specific: Content > Speakers > Manage Speaker
Session/Talk specific: Content > Talks > Manage Talk (note: this can only be added to existing sessions)
Where these are seen: Custom promotional images appear as previews on certain social media platforms when sharing event links, for example Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. You can customise promotional images so that they are individual for each session and speaker, or you can create a more generic one to cover both groups. Speaker promo images will also be available for your speakers to share if you have them access their speaker dashboard.
Size suggested: 1200x628 px. Please note, we use Facebook's size specifications for custom promotional images.

If you want to make the logo that appears in the top left of your public event site bigger, you could do this by heading to your landing page and then clicking the 'Edit Theme' icon on the bottom left corner.
On the next screen, you should see the settings on the right-hand side of the screen then look for the Logo size drop-down menu under Nav settings.
Please note: we encourage users to use either entirely custom category icons or pick them entirely from our built-in library. This is to ensure the sizes match.
