This article describes how to:

• Invite speakers to your event via email. Note - You may also invite speakers to your event via the Overview page, Users page, and Agenda page. 
• Add speakers to the event without sending them an invitation email. (Only available if the event manager chose for attendees to enter the event via a login link. Please see Login link for more information.)
• View a list of speakers for an upcoming event and monitor their progress through the registration process.
• Perform additional actions on speakers per registration status.

Invite speakers to your event

1. Navigate to the Speakers page; from the Event page, click the People tab > Speakers.
   The Speakers page displays.
2. Click the blue Invite Speaker button in the upper right corner of the screen. If there are no speakers, you may also click the + Invite Speaker button in the main body of the page. The Invite screen displays.
3. Type the speaker's email address (required), first and last names (required). 
4. Choose whether (in addition to having a Speaker role) they will have the additional role of Moderator.
5. Add a profile image if desired (we recommend 500x500 px), title, company, and bio.
   
6. Once finished, click Invite to send an invitation email, or click the down arrow to the right of the Invite button and choose Invite without an email to add this person to the event without sending them an invitation email.
    

   Once you are ready to send them the invite, you can click the three blue dots to the right of Status and select the 'resend email' option on the Speakers page.

   A notification asking you to confirm your action is displayed. Once the role is assigned, you cannot revert this action.
7. Click Invite to confirm or click Cancel to cancel the action.
   If you clicked Invite, a notification that the invite was successfully sent is displayed and the invitation you created will be sent to participants to complete the registration. If you clicked the down arrow to the right of the Invite button and chose Invite without an email, a notification that the invite was successfully sent is displayed and the person is added to the Speakers list as "Registered".
