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:
| Field | Notes |
|---|---|
| Full name | Required. Displayed on the speakers page and schedule. |
| Title & company | Shown beneath their name on speaker cards. |
| Bio | Appears on the speaker detail view. Supports plain text. |
| Photo | Upload a headshot (JPG/PNG). Square images work best. Stored on Cloudinary. |
| Social links | Twitter/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
- Go to Content → Speakers and open the speaker you want to invite.
- Click Generate link. A single-use contribution link is created and copied to your clipboard.
- Email or message the link directly to the speaker.
- The speaker fills in their details and submits. Their submission appears in the Contributions tab of your Speakers page as a pending change.
- Click Approve to apply the changes to the speaker's profile, or Reject to discard them.
Tip: Contribution links are single-use and expire after 7 days. Generate a new link if the speaker needs to make further updates after their first submission.
