Speakers are often the biggest stars at conferences. They are the ones who attract crowds of attendees who want to listen to a talk or take part in workshops. That’s why it’s so important to fill out their profiles as accurately as possible. Meeting Application lets you create a module dedicated to presenting speakers in the Mobile App and on the Landing Page:
To add a speaker profile, click the (+) Add new Speaker button and fill out the form. All fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required. However, it’s worth filling out the profile with all available information, such as: company name, position, or country of origin. You can also add a bio and links to the speaker’s social media profiles:
You can highlight each speaker with a special VIP status, which allows their profile to be displayed at the top of the list.
You can change the order of displayed speakers by dragging the created profile to the right place on the list.
Another way to add speakers is to import a ready-made CSV file with all speakers along with their descriptions. You can learn more about importing speakers from the article Import prelegentów.
For the speaker’s contact details, such as email address and phone number, you can limit their visibility for app participants. Sliding the Show publicly button to the right will make the speaker’s contact details public for all event participants. Turning this option off, on the other hand, makes these details available only to panel admins. This feature works well when a public figure doesn’t want to share their private data:
To add a speaker as a person appearing in an agenda session, go to the Agenda module and then choose Speaker Categories to set which roles will be available. You’ll find more details in the article Agenda wydarzenia, in the section Adding speakers to a session.
If your event needs to showcase more than one group of speakers, e.g. VIP speakers, Program Board, jury etc., you can add several of the same Speakers modules, changing their title to highlight different roles.
If a person has more than one role, e.g. they are both a speaker in a lecture and one of the event organizers, it’s enough to fill in their profile in just one module and then copy this profile to another one. In the Speakers module, next to the specific speaker whose data you want to copy, click the ellipsis and then Copy to... :
In the next step, from the Choose module list, select which module you want to copy the given speaker to and confirm by clicking Copy. This way the person, along with their full description and information, will be copied to the next module.
The Speakers module on the Landing Page lets you fully tailor the section to the specifics and needs of your event. In the configurator, you can easily manage who is visible to visitors and in what form.
From the module settings level you can:
Show or reveal the module: no matter the view in the mobile app menu (managed using the eye icon in the admin panel, in the CREATE → CONTENT tab) you can show or hide the speakers section at any time.
Show only VIP speakers: This is a perfect solution when you want to highlight only the most important speakers on the homepage (headliners who drive ticket sales) and move the rest of the speakers to a subpage. LEARN HOW TO CREATE A SUBPAGE IN THIS ARTICLE.
Change the section colors: You can set a custom background color and module title color – completely independently of the general color settings of your page. LEARN MORE IN THIS ARTICLE
Manage the search bar (hide the magnifying glass): In the Appearance settings section you can hide the search bar with one click, which works great for shorter expert lists.
Edit fixed elements: Change the default section title (pulled from the module settings in your event admin panel), decide on its visibility, and also enable a graphic separator.
Configure pagination: Decide how many speakers should be displayed on one page and whether a “Show all” button should be visible at the bottom of the section.
Have a great event with Meeting Application!
