# How to manage speakers for an online summit

A guide to speaker management for online summits: how to collect speaker details, enrich bios and photos, track status, and publish the finished roster.

## 1. Collect speaker details in one place

Add speakers manually or send them a self-serve form so their bio, photo, and session details land directly in your roster instead of scattered emails.

## 2. Track status as speakers confirm

Keep an overview of who has confirmed, who still needs a bio or photo, and who is ready to publish, so nothing falls through during recruiting.

## 3. Enrich and publish

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

## Summary

Managing speakers for an online summit means collecting their details in one place (manually or through a self-serve form), tracking confirmation status, enriching bios and photos with AI-assisted tools, and publishing the finished roster to wherever the summit lives.

## FAQ

### What is the best way to collect speaker information?

A self-serve form lets speakers submit their own bio, photo, and session details directly, which can reduce the back-and-forth of collecting the same information manually by email.

### How do I keep track of which speakers have confirmed?

A central speaker roster with status tracking, for example confirmed, awaiting bio, or ready to publish, gives an overview without needing a separate spreadsheet.

### Can AI really help with speaker bios and photos?

AI-assisted tools can help turn rough notes into a polished bio and clean up a headshot, cutting down the manual editing time, though a person should still review the result before publishing.

### Where can I publish the finished speaker roster?

EasySummit supports publishing to a WordPress site, sending it through a webhook, or downloading it as an export, so it fits into different summit setups.
