Choose a category icon

Use a built-in icon or upload a square custom icon for an event category.

Written by Benjamin Dell

Category icons help attendees recognise topics on category lists and in event navigation. You can choose one of HeySummit's built-in icons or upload your own.


Open the category

  1. From the event dashboard, go to Content > Categories.

  2. Choose Add Category, or open the action menu for an existing category and select Edit Record.

  3. Use Icon for a built-in icon or Custom Icon for an uploaded image, then save the category.


Use a built-in icon

  • HeySummit provides a curated set of regular Font Awesome icons in the Icon field.

  • You can browse the current Font Awesome icon search for ideas, but not every icon shown there is available in HeySummit.


Upload a custom icon

  • Use a square image no larger than 500 × 500 pixels.

  • Clear the built-in Icon choice when you want the uploaded Custom Icon to appear. If both are set, HeySummit displays the built-in icon.

  • After saving, preview the event's category list or category sidebar to confirm the icon is clear at its displayed size.
