Set Up Speakers

Introduction

You can include a speaker page in your Community site. Each speaker is highlighted on a speaker page which includes their photo, biography, and which sessions they’re speaking at. To make the page interactive, you can include a Favorite button, a Complete button, and downloadable resources.

 You can use speaker content to create grids and rotators on various pages.
