# How to host an online summit

A practical guide to hosting an online summit as a solo founder or small team: recruit speakers, prepare their profiles, and publish to reach your audience.

## 1. Decide on a topic and format

Pick a focused topic your audience cares about and decide how many speakers and sessions fit the time you have available.

## 2. Recruit and collect speakers

Invite speakers manually or send them a self-serve form so they submit their own bio, photo, and session details directly into your roster.

## 3. Enrich and publish the roster

Use AI-assisted tools to tidy up bios and headshots, then publish the finished roster to your website, a webhook, or an export file.

## Summary

To host an online summit, pick a topic, recruit speakers (manually or through a self-serve form), prepare their profiles with AI-assisted bio and photo tools, and publish the finished roster to your website or another platform to promote the event.

## FAQ

### What do I need to host an online summit?

At minimum you need a topic, a list of speakers willing to participate, and a way to publish their profiles somewhere your audience can see them, such as a website page.

### How many speakers should an online summit have?

There is no fixed number. Starting with a small, focused lineup and growing it over time is a reasonable approach, especially while you are still getting used to recruiting and enrichment.

### Do I need video hosting software to run a summit?

EasySummit focuses on speaker management and publishing your roster; you will still need a separate tool to host live or recorded sessions, such as a webinar platform.

### How long does it take to set up an online summit?

Setup time depends mostly on how quickly speakers respond. EasySummit's self-serve form and AI-assisted enrichment are designed to cut down the manual work once speakers are on board.
