Before you can assign a speaker, sponsor, and/or exhibitor to a session, they must be added as a contact within the People module first.
NOTE: If you add a speaker within the Speaker module, the system, by default, will create the contact under the People module first. Once you assign the contact to a session, the contact will then appear within the Speaker module.
How to add a contact
Within the People module, select the orange "Add" button at the top right-hand corner of the screen.
Select the "Add New Person" button in the pop-up window.
Add all of the contact's information (i.e. name, phone number, address).
NOTE: First & last names are required. An email address is not required; however, this is needed if they will have access to the portal.
Click "Save" once complete
