What does the eye icon mean next to a speaker's name?

The eye icon next to a speaker’s name controls the public visibility of that speaker in your event embeds and API responses.

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

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.

You can make a speaker hidden by:

Clicking on the speaker's name within the Session participants widget
Selecting Bulk edit and toggling off Public to the right of the speaker's name.
