Speaker headshot do's and don'ts

Your headshot appears on the event agenda, program site, and any speaker embeds, so it’s worth submitting a photo that shows your best side. Follow these simple tips.

three approved examples and three to avoid

Do

  • Face the camera and smile naturally.
  • Use a well-lit photo.
  • Use a neutral background.

Don’t

  • Use uneven lighting.
  • Share the spotlight — you should be the only person in the photo.
  • Use busy or distracting backgrounds.

Follow any size or format instructions under the Headshot field — your event team writes those. See Recommended headshot size for typical dimensions.
