      How do I add a speaker?

      Are speakers an important part of your event?

      In evenito, you can create a profile for each speaker including a photo, description text and various social media accounts and also publish them on your event website or on the virtual platform.

      In this article

      Create a speaker profile

      To create a profile, open the menu item "Contacts" and then click on the tab "Speakers".

      Please note:

      You can store the speaker profiles in this menu item. If you want to contact/communicate with the speakers specifically, you have to add them with their contact information in the menu item "Contacts".

      After you have clicked on the plus button in the top right hand corner, the speakers mask will open:

      How do I add a speaker?1

      You can add the following information:

      • Photo of the speaker (mandatory field)
      • First & last name (mandatory fields)
      • Title of the speaker
      • Description text including the option to set hyperlinks.

      To ensure that the description text is fully displayed on the event website (in layout 1), here is a guide:

      - with 3 speakers maximum 595 characters
      - with 4 speakers maximum 400 characters
      - with 5 speakers maximum 345 characters. 

      If the description text is introduced with a heading, the number of characters is reduced.

      • Social media profiles of the speaker: You can choose from LinkedIn, Xing, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube, Vimeo, Spotify, e-mail.
      • Schedule items at which the speaker participates.

      Please note:

      • Speakers can only be added to the schedule items at this point in the back office. Adding speakers to a schedule item (menu item "Schedule") is not yet possible.
      • If your event is set up in several languages, make sure that you store the above information for all languages. Use the language switcher for this purpose.

      After you have saved the stored information by using the "Add" button, the newly created profile is added to the overview. All speakers are listed here.
