Adding Editing and Using Speaker Tags

Speaker Tags are a useful feature to customize the way your speakers appear in the Event Website, Virtual Portal and Event App. By creating and assigning tags, you will be able to grant titles for any of your speakers.

By default, tags are ordered by when they are created, with the most recent one being at the bottom. This order can be changed at any time from the Event Dashboard.

Please note that Speaker Tags and Speaker Roles are two different concepts. For more information on how to set up Speaker Roles, please review our Customizing and Enabling Speaker Roles article.
