Additional Speakers
The opportunity to add Additional Speakers appears under the Session Submission area. The portal collects First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Organization, and Position for additional speakers.
- Number of Additional Speakers Allowed (0–5) – The number of additional speakers that a speaker can add.
Default: 5.
Any number from 0 through 5 is valid.
A value of 0 prevents the "Additional Speakers" section from even being shown on the portal page.
Note: This restriction applies only to the portal.
The restriction does not apply to what the planner may do on the admin side.
Conditional Logic
