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.

Click on the speaker's name to open their profile.
Scroll to the description field (biography section).
Enter a comprehensive biography including:
Professional background
Areas of expertise
Notable achievements
Educational credentials
Certifications or specializations
The biography field supports HTML formatting for creating more structured content.
Add the speaker's title and company information in the designated fields.
Include relevant credentials after the speaker's name if appropriate (MD, PhD, etc.).
Update social media links to professional profiles like LinkedIn.
Add the speaker to relevant schedule items by clicking "Add Schedule Item."
Assign speakers to schedule items that align with their expertise to create a more cohesive program.
Upload supporting materials like CVs or publications by clicking "Add Resource."
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
The system will not save if required fields are incomplete.
Troubleshooting
If formatted text in the biography appears incorrectly on the attendee-facing speaker profile, try simplifying the HTML formatting or using plain text with basic formatting elements only.
