The Speakers Menu in Cadence allows you to control how presenters are displayed throughout your event platform. From the Speakers Menu › Settings area, you can configure display options by choosing between alphabetical sorting by last name or a custom order that you define, making it easier for attendees to find specific speakers and ensuring a consistent display across your event.
When to use
When organizing events with multiple presenters
When you want to highlight keynote or featured speakers at the top of lists
When arranging speakers by importance or speaking order
When creating a more intuitive browsing experience for attendees
Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify speaker sort settings. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Speakers" in the left sidebar menu.
If you don't see the Speakers option, you may need to enable it first through Event Setup › Menu.
Select the "Settings" tab at the top of the Speakers page.
Choose your preferred sorting method from the "Sort By" dropdown:
"A-Z (Last Name)" for alphabetical sorting
"Custom order" to manually arrange speakers
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Changing from custom order to alphabetical sorting will override any manual speaker arrangement you've created.
Return to the main Speakers list by clicking the "Speakers" tab.
If using custom order, use the six-dot drag handle icon to reorder speakers by dragging them to your preferred positions.
The system automatically saves your custom order as you drag and drop speakers into new positions.
Verify your sorting preferences are displayed correctly on both admin and attendee interfaces.
Troubleshooting
If your custom speaker order isn't appearing on the attendee-facing interface, verify that you've clicked "Save" after selecting "Custom order" in the Settings tab and refresh your browser to see the updated display.
