Settings (Speaker Portal)

(Event) > Manage > Speakers and Sessions > Speaker Portal > Settings

This page displays and enables you to edit some general settings for the Speaker Portal for an event.

The Speaker and Session Management Module and its Conference Sessions sub-module must be enabled for the event (in Plan > Configure > Options > Functional Areas Needed by This Event).

Each event may have just one speaker portal.

Note: Once you have saved the settings on this page, the other links, Layout & Color, Branding, and Pages, in the Left Navigation Panel are enabled for you to configure all aspects of the speaker portal.

  • Name – (Required) May contain letters and numbers only; no special characters.

  • Google Analytics Tracking ID – Initially, this field contains the event-level tracking ID (if one was specified) from Plan > Configure > Options.
    You can optionally specify a separate Google Analytics Tracking ID for a Speaker Portal. This enables you to track visits to Speaker Portal pages separately from visits to registration form and event website pages.

    If you do not enter a separate Tracking ID here, visits to Speaker Portal pages will be tracked using the event-level code, if there is one.

    (If you do enter a tracking code here, then when you are logged into Google Analytics you can go to Content > Event > Overview to see the visit statistics for each Speaker Portal page separately: My Information, My Tasks, My Sessions, etc.)

    For full details of setting up Google Analytics in Certain, see this PDF guide.
