How to enable or disable public profiles for attendees

Enable or disable public profiles for attendees

The Attendees Settings section in Cadence allows you to control how attendees can view and interact with each other during your event. By enabling or disabling public profiles, you determine whether attendees can see each other's profiles without being directly connected, which affects networking capabilities and privacy levels at your event.

When to use

  • When planning events with networking components
  • When managing attendee privacy requirements
  • When determining how attendee information will be displayed
  • When configuring communication options between participants
You must have Admin or Event Manager permissions to modify these settings.

How to do it

    Log in to your Cadence Admin account.
    Navigate to your event dashboard.
    Select "People" from the left sidebar menu.
    Click "Attendees" in the submenu.
    Choose the "Settings" tab at the top of the page.
    Locate the "Enable Public Profiles" checkbox at the top of the settings section.
    Check the box to enable public profiles, allowing attendees to view each other's profiles.
Disabling public profiles will restrict networking capabilities for attendees.
    Configure related visibility settings as needed:
  • Check "Disable Email Visibility" to hide email addresses
  • Check "Disable Phone Number Visibility" to hide phone numbers
    Set up communication features based on your visibility choices:
  • Enable or disable "Video Chat" and "Direct Messaging"
  • Consider restricting these features to connected attendees only
    Click "Save" at the bottom of the page to apply your changes.

Troubleshooting

If attendees report they cannot see other participants:
  • Verify "Enable Public Profiles" is checked
  • Confirm attendees haven't set themselves to hidden (if that option is enabled)
  • Check that attendees are in the same groups if group-based visibility is in use
