Manage Speaker Web-Based Listings with Precision

Managing multiple settings to control speaker visibility on a mobile app and a web-based event management system is a tiresome project. Now you can hide and show speakers in the session listing area on both web-based and mobile app separately.

• Precise control: Decide exactly where your speakers appear – on the web, mobile app, or both.
• Flexibility: Customize your speaker listings to match your event’s requirements.
• Improved attendee experience: Provide more focused and relevant information to your audience.

How it works:

1. Find the “Hide in Web-based Listing” toggle when creating or editing speakers.
2. Enable this toggle to hide speakers from the speaker hub, landing page agenda, or webinars.
3. Speakers will remain visible on the mobile app unless you use the existing “Hide in Mobile App Speaker Listing” toggle.

• Flexible option: Choose to charge a fixed fee or a percentage based on ticket price.

2. Locate the new field for adding a booking fee.
3. Set a fixed amount or percentage based on your preferences.

Display Custom Fields in the Attendee List

Facilitate connections between attendees with similar interests. The custom field addition option in the attendee list gives you the ability to display the fields that matter most to you.

How it works:

1. Navigate to the “QR Code, Check-in, and Contact Exchange Settings” section in your event backend.
2. Activate the “Show Custom Field Under Name in Attendee List” toggle.
