Overview
This page configures the Speaker Portal page.
The Speaker Portal page allows a speaker to register themselves and submit their session, or allows another person to submit on their behalf.
To edit a field, use the edit option that appears when you hover over an editable field.
To make a field required (mandatory), edit the field and then click to save.
Submitter
Details of the person submitting the proposal are shown at the top of the submission page, including First Name, Last Name, Email, and Position.
The speaker can click a button to remove this section.
Clicking the button confirms that the speaker is submitting their own session.
Speaker Details
Speaker Details configures the section that collects the speaker information.
The configuration is based on the layout of Manage > Speakers and Sessions > Speakers, but the portal page may be edited here.
This includes adding fields (standard and custom Speaker Fields) and page breaks.
Note: You can add a new custom speaker field here; this field becomes available for use on the Speakers and Sessions Speaker Portal Pages My Info and when adding or editing Speakers.
At the end of the section you can choose to Use this Layout for the My Information page.
See also the My Information page and the Speakers and Sessions Speaker Portal Pages My Information.
Session Details
Session Details configures the section that collects the details of the session.
This is based on the Session Layout set up for the event on Manage > Speakers and Sessions > Setup > Session Layout, but you may edit the portal page here in much the same way as you can the session layout.
This includes adding fields (standard and custom fields), full-width Rich Text fields, and page breaks.
Note: You can add a new custom session field here. It is then available for use on the Speakers and Sessions Speaker Portal Pages My Sessions and on the Session Layout.
Note: This layout is also used for the Add Abstract page, which a logged in speaker can use to submit an additional abstract.
Additional Speakers
The opportunity to add Additional Speakers will appear under the Session Submission area.
Information collected will include: First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Organization, and Position.
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, not to what the planner may do on the admin side.
Conditional Logic
Note: You can add a Conditional Section to dynamically display additional standard fields, custom fields, headers and text conditionally based on previous selections in the Speakers Portal.
See separate details of Speaker Portal Logic.
