When adding sessions to your event, you can invite speakers to join the appropriate sessions or enter their information yourself. If you opt for the latter, you'll create the so-called accountless speakers. Accountless speakers don't have access to their sessions, meaning they can't edit them, or receive any kind of session or event-related communication within Sessionize. Because of that, we recommend inviting speakers to their sessions whenever possible.
If you added accountless speakers to your event's sessions but later changed your mind, you can still turn accountless speakers into regular ones. By doing so, you'll let them access and edit their sessions. You'll also be able to send them messages and use other speaker management tools.
All you have to do is press the appropriate button, which you can see on the screenshot above. The button can be found on various parts of the organizer's interface:
- On the Sessions page (on hover)
- On the Speakers page (on hover)
- On the individual speaker page
- On the individual session page
After you click the button, simply enter the speaker's email address and send the invitation. Once they accept the invite, the exising accountless profile will be automatically swapped with their account. That's it, you're done!
