# Creating Speakers & Performers

Eventixa lets you create reusable profiles for speakers, performers, presenters, panelists, hosts, and other event participants.

Once created, a profile can be reused across multiple events and sessions.

> **Available in:** Eventixa Core
> **Location:** Eventixa → Speakers & Performers → Add New Speaker / Performer
> **Related features:** Events, Sessions, Event Agenda, Speaker & Performer Groups

## Open the Add Speaker / Performer Screen

Go to: `Eventixa → Speakers & Performers`

Click: **Add New Speaker / Performer**

This opens the participant profile editor.

Create a reusable participant profile from Eventixa → Speakers & Performers → Add New Speaker / Performer.

## Enter the Participant Name

Add the public name of the participant.

Examples:

- Natalie Wong
- Ethan Clarke
- Nova Collective
- Creative Arts Ensemble

Use the name you want visitors to see on the frontend.

## Choose the Profile Type

Eventixa supports participant profiles such as:

- Individual
- Group

Use **Individual** for a single speaker, presenter, host, moderator, or performer.

Use **Group** for:

- Bands
- Performance teams
- Speaker panels
- Creative groups
- Other multi-person participant profiles

## Add the Role or Designation

Enter the participant's role or professional designation.

Examples:

- Product Strategy Director
- Creative Director
- Wellness Program Director
- Keynote Speaker
- Performer
- Moderator

This helps visitors understand why the participant is involved in the event.

## Add Organization Information

If relevant, add the participant's company or organization.

For example:

**Name:** Natalie Wong
**Role:** Wellness Program Director
**Organization:** Wellness Forward

This information can appear alongside the participant profile.

## Add a Biography

Write a concise biography describing the participant.

A good biography can include:

- Professional background
- Expertise
- Relevant experience
- Notable achievements
- Event-related context

Avoid overly long biographies on event pages.

## Add a Profile Image

Use a clear image that represents the participant.

For individuals, use:

- Professional headshot
- Speaker portrait
- Performer publicity image

For groups, use:

- Group photo
- Band image
- Team image

Use consistent image dimensions across your participant profiles where possible.

## Add Website and Social Profiles

Eventixa participant profiles can include supported profile links.

Depending on the available fields, these can include:

- Website
- LinkedIn
- Instagram
- YouTube
- Other supported social profiles

Only add public links that are relevant to the participant.

## Profile Settings Explained

| Setting | Purpose |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Public participant name |
| Profile Type | Individual or Group |
| Role / Designation | Participant's role or title |
| Organization | Company or organization |
| Biography | Public profile description |
| Profile Image | Participant image |
| Website | Participant website |
| Social Links | Public social profile links |

Use accurate information because the same profile can be reused across multiple events.

## Save the Profile

After entering the participant details:

1. Review the profile.
2. Confirm the name and image.
3. Check website and social links.
4. Publish or save the profile.

The participant becomes available for use in Eventixa events.

## Find the Participant After Saving

Go back to:

`Eventixa → Speakers & Performers`

The profile should appear in the participant list.

The listing can show information such as:

- Profile image
- Name
- Role
- Organization
- Profile type
- Social/profile links
- Number of upcoming events
- Publication status

## Create an Individual Speaker Example

Example:

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Ethan Clarke |
| Type | Individual |
| Role | Career Strategy Lead |
| Organization | NextPath Careers |
| Website | Participant website |
| LinkedIn | Participant LinkedIn profile |

This profile can later be assigned to one or more events and sessions.

## Create a Performer Group Example

Example:

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Name | Nova Collective |
| Type | Group |
| Role | Performance Group |
| Organization | Nova Collective |
| Website | Group website |
| YouTube | Group channel |

The group can then be added to music, entertainment, or cultural events.

## Reusing Profiles

Do not create a duplicate profile every time the same person appears at another event.

Instead, reuse the existing profile.

For example:

**Natalie Wong** can participate in:

- Wellness Leadership Workshop
- Future of Health Conference
- Community Wellness Summit

All three events can use the same participant profile.

## Edit a Participant Later

Go to:

`Eventixa → Speakers & Performers`

Open the participant profile.

Update the required information and save it.

Because profiles are reusable, changes can appear on every event using that participant.

## When to Create a Separate Profile

Create a new profile when:

- It represents a different person or group.
- The participant is genuinely a separate entity.
- A group should have its own identity instead of using individual member profiles.

Do not create separate copies just because the same participant appears at different events.

## Common Problems

### Participant Does Not Appear in the List

Check that:

- The profile has been saved or published.
- You are viewing the correct Speakers & Performers screen.
- The page has been refreshed.

### Profile Image Is Missing

Check that a featured/profile image has been assigned and saved.

### Social Link Does Not Appear

Confirm:

- The URL is valid.
- The correct social profile field is used.
- The frontend layout supports that social icon or field.

### Duplicate Profiles Were Created

Keep one canonical participant profile and remove unnecessary duplicates only after checking event and session usage.

## Before Using the Profile

Check:

- Name
- Profile type
- Role
- Organization
- Biography
- Profile image
- Website
- Social links

Then continue by assigning the participant to an event.
