The Speakers feature in Cadence allows you to control how presenters are displayed throughout your event platform. From the Speakers Menu › Settings area, you can choose between alphabetical sorting by last name or a custom order, making it easier for attendees to find specific speakers and ensuring a consistent display across your event.
When to use
When organizing events with many speakers
When you want to create an alphabetical directory of presenters
When you need a consistent sorting method across all event interfaces
When you want to help attendees quickly locate specific speakers

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 "A-Z (Last Name)" from the "Sort By" dropdown menu.
This is the default setting for most events and will automatically sort all speakers alphabetically by their last names.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Return to the main Speakers list to verify the new sorting order.
If you previously had a custom order set up, switching to alphabetical sorting will override that arrangement.
Troubleshooting
If speakers aren't appearing in alphabetical order despite your settings, verify that you've clicked "Save" after making changes and refresh your browser to see the updated display.
