Use speaker roles on talks

Written by Holly

Give each person a role on a session so HeySummit can show presenters, panelists, hosts and moderators appropriately.


​

Choose a role

  1. Go to Content & Schedule > Sessions. Open the session's Actions > Manage Session option.

  2. Open Presenters. Use Add someone to this session to select a person, or Create New if their presenter record does not exist yet.

  3. Open the role control beside their name and choose Presenter, Host, Moderator or Panelist. Repeat for the other people on the session.

  4. Select Save and Close when ready to apply the assignments.

How roles appear publicly

Presenters and panelists appear in the session's primary presenter group. Hosts and moderators appear in separate role groups on the session detail page. Public display also depends on whether the profile and session are active.


​

Link host and moderator profiles

Go to Event Settings > General > Event Basics > Other Settings. Enable Create Pages for Hosts? or Create Pages for Moderators?, then Save. These options make the matching names in the session sidebar link to their public profiles and include host or moderator sessions on those profile pages. If you want moderators to remain linked to the session but disappear from the public session sidebar, enable Hide Moderators? and save.
