What a speaker page is

The names in an event's speaker list are no longer just text belonging to that one event. On Gathin a speaker can have their own page, and that page shows every event they have spoken at, no matter which community ran it.

That's the difference: an event page answers "who is on stage today?", while a speaker page answers "where has this person spoken so far?"

Getting to a speaker page

Click a speaker card on an event page. If the card is linked to a record in the speaker library, it takes you to that person's page.

Not every speaker card leads to a page. If the organizer added the speaker by hand as free text, the card either opens that person's LinkedIn in a new tab or goes nowhere at all — which is perfectly normal.

What's on the page

• Photo, first and last name. A badge next to the name means the profile has been linked to a real Gathin account.
• Title and city — the line that tells two people with the same name apart.
• About — the speaker's short biography.
• Social links — LinkedIn, X, Instagram, and website.
• Talks — the public events that person has spoken at, newest first.

If the profile is linked to a Gathin account, the page also carries a View Gathin profile link.

How the library works

Speaker records live in one platform-wide library, and only the Gathin team adds records to it. Organizers can search that library and link a person to their own event — so the same person stays the same person across events, and their talks collect on one page.

An organizer can change the photo, title, or about text of a person they linked, for their own event. That change applies to that event only; the library record itself stays as it is.

If you are adding speakers to your event, see Gallery, schedule, and speakers.

If a page exists in your name

If you have spoken at an event, a speaker page may have been created in your name. If it isn't linked to anyone yet, you can claim it with This is me — claim your speaker page walks through it.
