Additional Speakers

The opportunity to add Additional Speakers will appear under the Session Submission area.

Information collected will include: First Name, Last Name, Email, Phone, Organization, and Position.

  • Number of Additional Speakers Allowed (0–5) – The number of additional speakers that a speaker can add.
    Default: 5. Any number from 0 through 5 is valid.
    A value of 0 prevents the "Additional Speakers" section from even being shown on the portal page.
    Note: This restriction applies only to the portal, not to what the planner may do on the admin side.

Conditional Logic

Note: You can add a Conditional Section  to dynamically display additional standard fields, custom fields, headers and text conditionally based on previous selections in the Speakers Portal.  See separate details of Speaker Portal Logic.
