Customize the Speaker Label to Match Your Event Terminology
The Schedule Labels section in Cadence allows you to customize the terminology used for speakers throughout your event's interface. Located in the Schedule Menu › Labels area, this feature helps create a more intuitive experience for attendees by replacing the generic term "Speaker" with terminology that better aligns with your event's specific context.
When to use
When your organization uses specific terminology for presenters
When creating industry-specific events with unique presenter classifications
When standardizing terminology across multiple events for consistency
When localizing your event for different regions or languages
Before you start
You must have System Administrator or Event Manager permissions to modify schedule labels. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
How to do it
Log in to your Cadence account.
Navigate to your event dashboard.
Click on "Schedule" in the left sidebar menu.
Select "Labels" from the submenu that appears.
Toggle the switch next to "Override Speaker label" to enable customization.
Common alternatives for "Speaker" include "Presenter," "Facilitator," "Instructor," or industry-specific terms like "Golfer" or "Performer."
Enter your preferred terminology in the text field that appears.
Click "Save" to apply your changes.
Custom labels will appear on web and mobile apps but will continue to show the original "Speaker" label in the admin interface.
Verify the changes by navigating to a schedule item that includes speakers.
Troubleshooting
If your custom labels aren't appearing in the mobile app, ensure you're using the latest version of the Cadence app (v2.7.387 for iOS or v2.7.387 for Android) and try refreshing your event data.
