If your question is not listed here, then please contact us.
How do I add a speaker to an event?
When creating or editing an event, click the Speakers tab. Use the dropdown to select existing speakers or click Add New to create a speaker profile right from the event editor. You can add multiple speakers to a single event.
What information can I include in a speaker profile?
Speaker profiles include name, title or role, professional bio, headshot or photo, website link, and social media profiles including Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram. All fields are optional, so you can include as much or as little information as you have available.
Can I reuse speaker profiles for multiple events?
Absolutely. Once you create a speaker profile, it’s saved to your speaker database. When that speaker appears at another event, simply select their profile from the dropdown. This saves time and ensures consistency across all events featuring the same speaker.
Can visitors filter events by speaker?
Yes. Evert speakers and performer has a dedicated profile page. This makes it easy for fans to find all appearances by their favorite artist or for conference attendees to plan their schedule around preferred speakers.
Do speaker profiles get their own pages?
Yes. Sugar Calendar automatically creates archive pages for each speaker showing their bio, photo, and a list of all events where they’re appearing. Visitors can explore a complete history of each speaker’s events on your site.
Can I add multiple speakers to one event?
Yes. You can assign as many speakers or performers as you need to each event. This is perfect for panel discussions, conferences with multiple presenters, music festivals with several bands, or any event featuring multiple featured guests.
How do social media links help my events?
Social links let attendees connect with speakers before the event, follow them for updates, and continue the conversation afterward. This builds anticipation and engagement. When speakers share your event with their followers, those social links also drive more traffic and registrations to your site.
Can I edit speaker profiles after creating them?
Yes. You can update speaker profiles anytime from your WordPress dashboard. Changes automatically appear across all events where that speaker is featured. This is helpful when speakers update their headshots, change titles, or add new social media accounts.
Is the speaker feature included in the free version?
Speaker and performer profiles are a Pro feature. To showcase speakers with full bios, photos, social links, and filtering capabilities, you’ll need Sugar Calendar Pro. Upgrade today to start highlighting the talent that makes your events special.
Can I use this feature for performers, not just speakers?
Absolutely. The feature works for any type of talent including musicians, bands, comedians, actors, dancers, DJs, or any featured guests at your events. Whether you call them speakers, performers, artists, or presenters, the functionality is the same and helps you showcase whoever makes your events worth attending.
