Invite and Manage Speakers

Use Speakers to manage the profiles used for your event. Creating a speaker also prepares an invitation and adds it to the built-in Speakers group. It does not automatically send an invitation email.

Before you start

You need owner, admin or editor access to the organisation. Have each speaker's email address and display name ready.

Add a speaker

1. Open Speakers

   From the event, choose Attendees, then Speakers. Choose Add Speaker.

2. Enter the profile details

   Enter Email and Display name. Optional fields include Title, Organisation, Company, Biography and Social links. Title is an honorific such as Dr or Prof. You can add up to 10 social links.

3. Create the speaker

   Choose Create Speaker and correct any field errors. Review the new profile in the table.

4. Send the invitation

   Open Invitations, find the speaker's address and send the invitation when ready.

Import speakers

Choose Download template for a file with the supported fields, then Import. Upload a CSV or Excel file and review the mapping. Email and Display name are required. The template also supports profile details and separate LinkedIn, Twitter, website and GitHub URL columns. Fix row errors, choose the Import button with the row count, then Confirm Import.

Edit a profile or picture

Find the speaker with search and choose the row edit control. Update the fields, then choose Update Speaker. Picture controls appear when editing an existing speaker. Choose Upload picture or Change picture, review the preview, then Update Speaker to save it.

Delete speakers

Use a speaker's delete control, or select several rows and choose Delete. Read the confirmation: deletion also removes those speakers from activities.
