Speaker Registration

If you're a Speaker:

If you're a confirmed speaker (or the proposer of one) and still need to register, go to your user dashboard and click on the "Speaking" tab. You'll find the appropriate link to register as a speaker. You can also upload presentation files from this tab. To check on the status of your proposal, go to the "Proposals" tab.

If you're a Proposer, but NOT a Speaker:

If you're a proposer of a confirmed speaker and need to register the speaker on their behalf, go to your user dashboard and click on the "Proposals" tab. You'll find the appropriate link to register the speaker on their behalf. You can also check on the status of your proposal from this tab.
