How does the platform support speaker logistics?

Summary — Certain supports speaker logistics end-to-end: creating and importing speaker profiles, linking speakers to registrations, designing public-facing speaker catalogs (layout, theme, featured/general speaker displays and session templates), syncing speaker data into catalogs, and bulk/mass actions for updates and integrations.

Details

  • Speaker profiles
  • Create one-by-one in the event UI or import via spreadsheet (required fields: first name, last name, email, username). Keep username stable to avoid duplicates.
  • Speaker Portal lets speakers submit abstracts and auto-create their own speaker profiles; you can require specific fields.
  • Existing attendee registrations can be linked to speaker profiles (attendees can log in to the Speaker Portal with their registration credentials).
  • Catalogs & public presentation
  • Speaker Catalog Designer lets you create multiple speaker catalogs per event (in-person or digital) and customize layout (header, featured units, basic units, footer), theme, and design elements (cards, lists, single-feature, tabs, header/footer HTML, scripts/CSS). Preview as you build.
  • Configure how featured and general speakers display, edit speaker session templates, and insert custom scripts/CSS into the DOM header/footer for advanced customization.
  • Data configuration & display logic
  • On the catalog Data page set Featured speakers (up to 20), default filters (e.g., by speaker type), grouping (e.g., by speaker type), sorting (e.g., last name), and group styling (font color/style/size). Save & Preview to finalize.
  • Syncing and publishing
  • Catalogs support Sync Speaker / Sync Sessions actions to bring the latest published/scheduled/qualified/cancelled sessions and up-to-date speaker data into a catalog. After syncing, wait ~1–2 minutes before changes appear, then re-publish.
  • Power Template / API workflows: copy the Speaker Catalog UUID from the preview URL and add it to event content for API-driven displays; sync/publish as part of the power-template flow.
  • Operational conveniences
  • Mass actions to create linked attendee registrations from speaker profiles.
  • Import templates available to ensure correct columns (including custom speaker fields).
  • Preview/view/copy/delete/catalog management from the Catalog List.
