Using Your Speaker Portal

A guide for speakers who receive a Gythr portal link.

1

Accessing Your Portal

Your event organizer will share a unique portal link with you. Click the link to access your speaker portal — no Gythr account or login required. The link itself is your access key.

Bookmark this link for easy access. You can return to update your information anytime before the event.

Important

Your portal link is unique to you. Don't share it with others — anyone with the link can edit your speaker profile.

2

Editing Your Profile

The Profile section shows your speaker information as the organizer entered it. You can update:

  • Bio — Your speaker biography shown on the public speakers page
  • Headshot — Your profile photo URL
  • Title and company — Your professional title and organization
  • Social links — Twitter, LinkedIn, and personal website

Changes are saved when you click Save and appear on the public speakers page immediately.

3

Viewing Your Sessions

The Sessions section shows all sessions you've been assigned to, including:

  • Session title and type
  • Date and time (in the event timezone)
  • Room name and location
  • Your role in the session (speaker, moderator, panelist, or host)

If you have questions about your session assignments, contact the event organizer directly.

4

Uploading Materials

The Materials section lets you upload files for the event organizer. Common uploads include:

  • Slides — Your presentation deck
  • Handouts — Worksheets, guides, or reference materials
  • Videos — Pre-recorded demos or supplementary content

Click Upload, select your file, and choose a category. You can upload multiple files and delete previously uploaded materials.

Pro tip

Upload your slides at least 24 hours before your session. This gives the organizer time to load them onto the presentation machine if needed.

5

Signing the Speaker Agreement

If the organizer requires a speaker agreement, you'll see an Agreement section in your portal. Read the agreement text and check the box to sign it. Your agreement status changes from "Pending" to "Signed."

The organizer can see your agreement status on their end, so signing promptly helps them track logistics.

6

Logistics Information

The Logistics section contains any additional information the organizer has shared with you — things like parking instructions, Wi-Fi credentials, speaker green room location, or AV setup details.

This section is read-only and updated by the organizer. Check back closer to the event date for the latest details.
