The Speakers feature in Cadence allows you to manage presenter information for your event. From the Speakers Menu, you can edit comprehensive speaker profiles including biographical information, contact details, social media links, and profile images to help attendees learn about your presenters and their sessions.
When to use
When updating speaker information before or during an event
When correcting errors in speaker profiles
When adding additional details to existing speaker profiles
When linking speaker profiles to attendee accounts
Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to edit speaker profiles. 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.
Locate the speaker you want to edit in the speakers list.
Click on the speaker's name or image to open their profile.
Edit the speaker's basic information:
Prefix (Dr., Prof., etc.)
First Name*
Last Name*
Email
Title
Company
Update the speaker's biography in the description field.
The biography field supports HTML formatting for creating more structured content.
Change the profile image by clicking on the current image and uploading a new one.
For best results, use a square image (1:1 aspect ratio) with minimum dimensions of 220x220px.
Modify location information if needed:
City
Country
State
Update social media links:
Website
Facebook
Twitter
LinkedIn
Instagram
Link to a user profile by clicking "Link to User" if you want the speaker to be able to edit their own profile.
Once a speaker profile is linked to a user profile, changes made to either profile will update both. The speaker will be able to edit their own information.
Add or remove the speaker from schedule items by clicking "Add Schedule Item" or removing existing items.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
The system will not save if required fields are incomplete.
Troubleshooting
If you're unable to edit a speaker's email address after linking them to a user profile, this is expected behavior as the email is controlled by the linked user account.
