👁️ Public / Hidden Speakers

  • Visible (Eye Icon Not Visible): By default, all speakers are public. This means:

    • They appear in your Sessionboard embeds 

    • The speaker’s information is returned with the is_public value set to TRUE via the Open API using the 'Get Sessions' or 'Search Sessions' endpoints.

  • Hidden (Eye Icon Crossed Out): If you toggle the icon off (clicking on the speaker's name so the icon appears crossed out)

    • The speaker will be hidden from all embeds.

    • The is_public value will be FALSE in the Open API using the 'Get Sessions' or 'Search Sessions' endpoints.

This setting is helpful if you want to keep a speaker’s profile private until officially announced.
