How can I create a speakers page?

First, access Configuration from the left sidebar of the Organizer’s Tool.

Note: For multilingual events, ensure that the selected language in the upper bar matches the language you are naming the component in to avoid any inconsistencies.

Configure the visibility settings for the speakers page by selecting the participant types who should have access to it. If you wish to enable unregistered website visitors to view your speakers, activate the Guest Mode toggle switch

Note: By default, Guest Mode is enabled. You must first disable the Guest Mode if you want to configure the visibility settings for specific participant types.

Once you have finalized the component configuration, click on the Create button located in the bottom right corner of the screen.

How does the speakers page look like?

After creating the speakers page, click on the Go to Event Website in the upper bar of the Organizer's Tool. This will redirect you to the live event website where you can see how the speakers page looks like to your participants.  

On the event website, access the Speakers page from the event navigation bar. 

Speakers are showcased through individual cards on the speakers page. These cards present essential information about each speaker, including their profile picture, first and last name, job position, and organization. By default, the speakers are sorted alphabetically based on their last names.

Additionally, you can also download the speakers presentations.
