Speakers

Add and manage your speakers from Content → Speakers in the sidebar.

Adding a speaker

Click Add speaker to open the speaker form. Fill in:

FieldNotes
Full nameRequired. Displayed on the speakers page and schedule.
Title & companyShown beneath their name on speaker cards.
BioAppears on the speaker detail view. Supports plain text.
PhotoUpload a headshot (JPG/PNG). Square images work best. Stored on Cloudinary.
Social linksTwitter/X, LinkedIn, and website URL — all optional.

Click Save and the speaker will appear on your public Speakers page immediately (if the event is published).

Editing & removing speakers

Click a speaker's name or the Edit icon in the speaker list to update their details. Click Delete (trash icon) to remove them permanently.

Note: Deleting a speaker also removes them from any schedule sessions they are linked to. This cannot be undone.

Letting speakers update their own info

You can send each speaker a private link that lets them fill in their own bio, photo, and social links — without giving them access to your full dashboard.

How to set it up

  1. Go to Settings → Team and find the Contributor tokens section.
  2. Generate a token for the speaker and copy the link (it looks like app.confexo.com/contribute/<token>).
  3. Email the link directly to the speaker.
  4. The speaker fills in their details and submits. Their submission lands in Content → Speakers as a pending change for you to review.
  5. Approve or reject each change. Approved changes update the speaker profile immediately.
Tip: Contributor tokens are single-use per field submission. The speaker can visit their link multiple times to update different fields, but each submission needs your approval.
