Integrate Speakers with Other Event Features

The Speakers feature in Cadence allows you to connect presenter profiles with other platform features to create a comprehensive event experience. From the Speakers Menu › Settings area, you can configure how your speakers interact with other parts of your event, such as schedule items, collections, home page tiles, and notifications, enhancing speaker visibility and attendee engagement.

When to use

  • When creating a comprehensive speaker strategy across your event
  • When connecting speakers with schedule items and sessions
  • When featuring speakers on your event home page
  • When using speaker information in promotional materials

Before you start

You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to integrate speaker information with other features. 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 settings.
    Link speakers to schedule items by navigating to Schedule and adding speakers to relevant sessions.
When speakers are added to schedule items, they automatically appear in your Speakers list.
    Feature speakers on your Home page by creating a Speakers content tile in Home › Settings.
    Add speaker resources to Collections to provide supplementary materials related to their presentations.
    Include speaker information in notifications to promote upcoming sessions or speaker-related activities.
    Connect speakers to your event's social features by mentioning them in Live Feed posts.
Consistent speaker information across all features creates a more cohesive attendee experience.
    Verify that speaker information appears correctly across all integrated features.

Troubleshooting

If speakers aren't appearing correctly in integrated features:
  • Check that the Speakers menu item is enabled in Event Setup › Menu
  • Verify that speaker profiles contain all required information
  • Ensure you've saved changes after modifying speaker settings
