Speaker Profile Data: What Changes Where

This guide explains how speaker information is managed across the platform and what gets updated when either a speaker or organizer makes changes.

Two Types of Speaker Data

There are two distinct types of speaker information in the system:

1. Personal Profile (Speaker-controlled)

This is the speaker’s own profile used for interaction, networking, and in-app and virtual side experiences.

2. Official Speaker Details (Organizer-controlled)

This represents the speaker’s public-facing information used in event content like agenda, directories, and onsite tools.

How Edits Work

When a Speaker Edits Their Profile

Depending on where the edit is made, the impact differs:

1. Editing from the App or Virtual Profile

Changes here only affect the speaker’s personal profile.

These updates will reflect in:

1. Networking and connections

2. Messaging and inbox

3. Meeting-related features

4. Activity feeds

5. Gamification

6. Notifications

7. Session engagement (chat, Q&A etc)

8. Their in-app profile

These changes do not affect how the speaker appears in official event listings like the agenda or speaker or sponsor directory and widgets.

2. Editing from the Speaker Portal

Changes made here update both:

1. Personal profile

2. Official speaker details

This is the only place where a speaker can update information that appears publicly in event content.

3. When an Organizer Edits Speaker Information

Organizer changes only affect official speaker details.

These updates will reflect in:

1. Event schedule

2. Speaker directory

3. Sponsor directory (if applicable)

4. Speaker widgets

5. Onsite check-in systems

6. Lead capture tools

These changes do not impact the speaker’s personal profile used for networking, messaging, app and virtual profile.

4. When an Attendee is Upgraded to a Speaker

1. A new official speaker profile is created for event-related usage.

2. The existing attendee profile remains unchanged for personal interactions.
