Our Speakers, Sponsors, and Exhibitors features are the best places to create information pages for each of these vital parts of your event, though doing so doesn't give related personnel access to your event. If you want your speakers and sponsors or exhibitor personnel to engage with attendees in chat and Video Rooms in the Event App, you'll need to create an attendee profile for them. This article shows you how. 👀

Psst! If you want information about giving speakers access to your live stream studio, send them one of the following links, depending on which Studio you're using:

You can add speakers and sponsor or exhibitor personnel to your event in one of two ways.

Let's explore each option.

If you're using Webex Events Registration, you can create a hidden ticket that's only available to people with the correct access code. This means you can create a free ticket, then send the access code out to speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors so they can register as attendees.

This method doesn't require you to coordinate or gather any extra information, and you can even automatically assign speakers sponsors, and exhibitors to special groups in your Event App. Read our article about creating tickets for complete instructions.

If you're not using Webex Events Registration or don't have many people to add, you can add them manually one by one, or import a list.

These methods require you to reach out to each speaker, sponsor, and exhibitor and gather the names and emails of each person who should have access to the Event App. You must then enter each person's information into the Webex Events platform or into the attendee import template.

Our Attendees guide has the goods on adding attendees manually and links to our article about importing them, too!

Whichever way you choose, make sure your speaker, sponsor, and exhibitor attendee profiles let everyone else know they're special! ✨ Share image and name conventions, description guidelines, and other special guidance so they know what to do when setting up their attendee profiles.

Think about:

Now your speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors can interact with everything attendees can, including the Wall, chat, and Video Rooms. In a speaker or sponsor page, they can simply click the Chat tab (if active) and respond to attendee chats.

If you've set up Video Rooms for your sponsors, speakers, or exhibitors, add their attendee profiles as moderators for their rooms and then send them our Moderator Guide. 👍

Now that you know how to give your speakers, sponsors, and exhibitors access to your Event App, review our Attendee Networking with Webex Events article to learn what the attendee experience is like.
