      Creating & Assigning Speakers

      When speakers complete the submission form, a new speaker contact is created within your Sessionboard event. Event admins can add additional speakers to a submission without completing a submission form.

      Create Speaker Contact

      1. Within the Speaker or Contacts module, select the orange "Add" button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
        ​

      2. Select the "Add New Person" button in the pop-up window.
        ​

      3. Add all of the speaker's information (i.e. name, phone number, address).

        1. NOTE: First name, last name, and email are required

      4. Click "Save" once complete

      NOTE: Once you have created the contact, they will need to be assigned to a session before they appear within the Speaker module. Unassigned speaker contacts live within the Contacts module. 

      Attach A Speaker To A Session

      1. Once a speaker is created, navigate to the Sessions module and click the pencil bolt icon next to the session to which you want to add the speaker.

      2. Within the session modal, navigate to the "Participants" tab and locate the "Session Participants" box. Here, you will want to search for the speaker's name to attach them to the session.
