Speaker Checklist Defaults

Define the to-dos that auto-populate for every speaker's portal.

What the Checklist Does

The Speaker Checklist is the set of to-dos every speaker sees in their portal — submit slides, join a Slack channel, post about their talk, and so on. Items you define here are auto-populated for every new speaker, so you set them once instead of repeating yourself. Open Speaker Checklist from the Stage landing page.

Adding Items

Click Add Checklist Item and set:

  • Label — the task, e.g. "Submit slide deck"
  • Description — optional instructions or links
  • CategoryPre-Event, Day Of, or Post-Event
  • Required — mark must-do items
  • Visible to speaker — show it in the portal (or keep it internal)

How Speakers See It

In the portal, the checklist is grouped by category with a progress bar, and speakers check items off as they complete them. It's the simplest way to keep every speaker on track without chasing them over email.

Pro tip

Keep the Pre-Event list short and high-leverage — slides, headshot, agreement. A focused checklist gets finished; a long one gets ignored.
