Speakers can be added to any event. They appear in the "Speaker" content block on websites and in mailings. They can also be assigned to sessions and automatically listed as speakers in the agenda.
Step 1 - Create speaker as guest
In order to assign a speaker to an event, the speaker must first be created as a guest.
Go to > Guests and click on the "Add guest" icon,
Go to
> Guests and c
lick on the "Add guest" icon
, select "Create new guest". Now fill in the desired fields and save your entry. A guest is now created in the guest list and simultaneously created as a contact in the account in > Contacts.
Tip: Before creating a speaker, it is advisable to check whether the speaker already exists as a contact or even as a speaker in the account's contact database. You can find more information about the contact database here.
Find more information about the contact database here.
In > Guests, click the "Add Guest" icon
select "Select from Contact Database". Now select one or more contacts and add them to the event using "Select action" at the bottom of the list.
Once a contact has been assigned as a speaker in an event, all information (picture, social media links) will be saved as well. If you add the contact as a speaker to another event you don't have to enter the already existing data again. After you have added the contact as a guest to the event, you only need to mark the contact as a speaker. Step 2 is therefore not necessary.
Step 2 - Mark guest as speaker
To mark a guest as a speaker, activate "Is speaker at event" in the 3rd tab "Speaker" > insert speaker information > confirm with "Save".
Tip:
It is recommended to prepare all information about the speaker in advance.
