Creating a Speaker Profile

The Speaker Profile has the speaker's biography, rank, housing room preferences, and honorarium information.

Note: After you create a Speaker Profile, you can assign the speaker to an Event Session.

To create a Speaker Profile:

  1. Hover over the Modules tab in the top navigation bar. In the fly out menu, click Events.
  2. On the Events Overview page, expand the Speakers group item and click Add Speaker.

  1. On the Speaker Information page, use the lookup button to find the speaker's name. (The Individual Profile must already exist in CRM. The Speaker Contact Information comes from their Individual Profile record.)
  2. Select the Speaker Ranking. Speaker ranking is a rating system you have set up for speakers invited to your conferences. You may easily keep track of those speakers you want to invite back if you choose to use this.
  3. Select the Housing Room Type this speaker prefers.
  4. Select the Smoker check box if the speaker wants to request a hotel room that allows smoking.

  1. Enter the speaker's biographical information in the Speaker Biography text box.
  2. Enter the speaker introduction information in the Speaker Introduction text box.
  3. Enter the speaker's honorarium information in the Speaker Honorarium text box. (An honorarium is an agreed upon form of non-monetary payment. For example, housing, meals, or transportation for the speaker may also be reimbursed by the event organizer).
  4. Enter any additional rank information in the Rank Details text box.

  1. Click Save to create the Speaker Profile.

Once a Speaker profile has been created, you may assign presentation topics to a speaker, upload documents for a speaker, and assign the speaker to a specific event session. Further, the biography is used when the speaker is viewed online. View Enabling Speaker Information Online.
