The first step in adding a speaker to your event is gathering all of your speaker’s information. This includes a brief bio that they have approved being added to the site, a headshot, and their job title along with the company/institution they are associated with. Once you have this information, follow this guide to get your speaker on your event.
- While creating your event (or editing if you’ve already created it), you’ll notice a Speakers section within the event form.
- If they are current LeBow faculty, staff, or PhD student, you can type their name and their professional headshot and self-submitted bio will be added to your event.
- If they are not, you’ll have to create a basic bio. Proceed to step 2.
- Click the ‘create new one’ link in the text description associated with the Speaker field (make sure you open it in a new tab or you’ll lose any changes you’ve made to your event form).
- Add your speaker’s name as the Name of the page.
- Provide a short description about your speaker (please adhere to the 155 characters or less policy).
- Add your speaker’s job title and current company in the corresponding field.
- Add your speaker’s approved bio to the Bio section.
- Upload a headshot – portrait photos are preferred.
- please note these photos cannot be made larger or smaller in code. If your photo looks too small, upload a larger high quality photo
- Add your new speaker to the Speakers section by typing the name in the field.
