Speakers and sponsors

Speaker profiles and pages, and sponsors with their tiers.

Speakers and sponsors are two sections of your event page. Each speaker gets a card on the event page and a page of their own listing their sessions. Sponsors appear together, each with a logo, a short description and their tier.

You manage both on the Event page tab, under Page & programme, in the Speakers and Sponsors cards under Section content.

Where sponsors appearLink to this section

Published sponsors appear in the event page section titled Partners. Each card shows the logo, name, description and tier, and links to the destination URL when there is one. Sponsors appear in the order you added them, with their tier as a label on each card, so add your headline sponsors first.

Sponsors also appear in the post-event report, grouped by tier.

Removing a speaker or sponsorLink to this section

Choose Remove on the row and confirm. This can't be undone. Removing a speaker also takes them off every session they were listed on.

If you only want to take someone off the page for now, edit them and set Visibility to Draft or Hidden instead. Their details stay saved for later.
