🎤 Your speaker portal
Where to sign in, how to edit the profile the public sees, and how to work through your task list.
Everything you need as a speaker lives on one page: My portal, at /{event-slug}/portal. It's also 🙂 My Portal in the event nav bar. Your task list, your sessions, your profile and your fee are all there.
🔑 Getting in
Sign in with the email address the organizers used when they added you. That's the whole trick. Go to the portal URL, enter that address, and a one-tap sign-in link arrives by email — no password to remember (see 🔑 Accounts & sign-in).
✅ Your task list
If the organizers have assigned you tasks, they're at the top: Tasks (2/5 done). Typical ones are "send us your headshot", "confirm your A/V needs", "upload your slides", "submit your bio".
| Title and description | What they want and any detail they added. |
|---|---|
| Due date | Shown as due Fri Mar 07 2026. An overdue open task turns red, so it's obvious what's late. |
| Mark done | The green button on each open task. Press it when you've done the thing — the task greens out and its title is struck through, and the organizers see it completed on their side. |
🖥️ Your sessions
Under Your sessions is every session you're assigned to, each linking to its public page — the one attendees see, with your abstract, the Q&A and the polls. Worth opening before the event to check the details are right and to see what your audience will see. More in 🖥️ Your sessions & presenting online.
🙂 Your public profile
The Profile form at the bottom of the portal is what the public speakers directory and your session pages show. Press Save profile and it's live immediately — no review step, no waiting.
| Field | Where it shows |
|---|---|
| Display name | Your name in the speakers directory, on your session pages, and in the People directory. |
| Title | Under your name in listings — your role or job title. |
| Company / org | Alongside your title. |
| Photo URL | Your headshot. It's a link to an image hosted somewhere, not an upload, so paste the address of a picture that's already online. Square images look best in the circular avatars. |
| Mobile number for SMS updates | Optional, and never shown publicly. Only used if the organizers send text alerts — genuinely useful on the day if a room changes. |
| Bio | The paragraph on your speaker page. Write it in plain prose; pasted HTML formatting gets stripped out when it's displayed. |
💰 Your fee
If the organizers have recorded a speaker fee for you, it appears in the portal as a green banner: 🎤 Your speaker fee for this event: $500.00. If there isn't one, no banner — which either means you're not being paid a fee or they haven't entered it yet. Ask them; the portal is just showing what's recorded.
Travel expenses are separate and only appear when the organizers have turned travel billing on for the event — see 🧾 Fees & travel expense claims.
🎟️ You're also an attendee
Being a speaker gets you access to the ticket-gated content automatically — you can watch session videos without buying anything. And all the attendee features work for you too: star sessions into My Schedule, use the People directory and messaging, post on the community board. You'll show up in the directory with a speaker badge next to your name.
