Register the speaker first
A speaker is an attendee. The person must have a registration before being added as a speaker. Typical flow for invited speakers:1
Create a hidden guest ticket
On Ticket types, create a ticket (for example, “Speaker”) and set visibility to hidden. It does not appear on the public event page.
2
Create a redemption code
On Offers & redemptions, create a code that unlocks the hidden ticket. Send the share link to the speaker.
3
Complete registration
The speaker follows the link and registers. The person can also be added on the Attendees page.
Add and edit a speaker
Choose Add speaker and search by name or email. No match means the person has not registered yet. On the speaker page:- Name — copied from the registration and editable. The stage name does not have to match the badge.
- Title — for example, “CTO, Acme”.
- Bio — the public introduction.
Assign sessions
The Schedule section on the speaker page connects the speaker to sessions on the Agenda. Select the sessions and save. Assignments are edited on the speaker side, not on the session.Assigning a gated session grants access. If a session requires perks, adding the speaker grants those perks on the registration. The grant is additive: existing perks are kept. Removing the session later does not revoke the granted perks.
Rules
- One profile per registration. A registration can be marked as a speaker once. A speaker is one attendee in this event.
- Registration first. A speaker cannot be created without a registration. Use a hidden guest ticket if the ticket should not be public.
- Removing a speaker removes only the profile. The registration remains. Perks granted through session assignments remain.
- Name, title, and bio are independent of the registration. Use View attendee to open the registration.
