Can Speakers and Exhibitors Join Sessions?

Yes they can as long as they have a ticket! You can easily give them tickets through Manage Attendee Access.

Give Speakers or Exhibitors a Ticket to Join Sessions

They can still enter the event without a ticket, but If they also want to join sessions, they need a ticket.

You can give A free or paid ticket to speakers and exhibitors directly from their settings in the admin console, wherein we made it easier as you don't need to re-enter their name and email address again.

Notes:

  • They can still enter the event without a ticket.

  • They cannot enter sessions without a ticket.

  • They cannot be assigned a badge if they don't have a ticket.

  • You can assign only 1 ticket, if more tickets need to be assigned, you can do it in Add Attendees tab or Attendee Management.

  • You can un-assign the ticket and reassign a new ticket.

  • You cannot assign a ticket to multiple speakers in 1 go.

  • You can assign a ticket to multiple exhibitors in 1 go, but this should be done in the ERC.

  • If they access the event before it opens, they can only see the tabs assigned to them - Speaker Hub and Exhibitor Resource Center (ERC).

The New Speaker Has an Existing Ticket

If the speaker already has a ticket before adding them as a speaker, you'll see a notification and the ticket will automatically be assigned to them to ensure that there wouldn't be any duplicate tickets.
