Audience: event organizers, working in the Highbar dashboard

If you're speaking at an event, the organizer may send you a private link to your speaker profile. It opens a page with the event's branding where you can update what attendees see about you in the event app. You don't need an account or a password: the link is your way in, so don't share it.

## Update your profile

<Steps>
<Step>
Open the email "Your speaker profile for" the event, and click **Set up my speaker profile**. You can also copy the link under the button into your browser.

![The email Your speaker profile for Horizons: You're confirmed to speak at Horizons, asking the speaker to set up their photo, bio and details, with the Set up my speaker profile button and the private link below it, partly blurred.](https://help.highbar.ai/images/sponsors-and-speakers/speaker-invite-email.webp)

The page shows your current profile.

</Step>
<Step>
Change anything you like:

- **Headshot and cover photo**: JPG or PNG, up to 8 MB.
- **The basics**: your name, an honorific such as Dr. (**Add Honorific**), letters after your name such as PhD (**Add Post-nominal**), your **Position / Title** and **Company**.
- **Your bio**.
- **Contact details** and **Social profiles**: website, phone, hometown, LinkedIn, X / Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok.
- **Files & resources**: slides or handouts attendees can download, and links or products to show on your page.

Your changes save as you go ("Auto-saved just now"), but stay private until you submit.
</Step>
<Step>
Click **Submit**.
</Step>
</Steps>

A thank-you page confirms it. Depending on how the organizer has set things up, your changes either go live in the event app straight away, or wait for the organizer to approve them first. The page tells you which.

![The thank-you page: Thanks, Anastasiia! Your speaker profile has been submitted to the Horizons team. It will appear in the event app once approved., with Edit my submission, and Need to change something? You can come back to this link anytime through December 3, 2026.](https://help.highbar.ai/images/sponsors-and-speakers/speaker-submitted.webp)

If some fields aren't on the page, the organizer manages them for you. Ask them if something there needs to change.

## Change something later

Open the same link again, or click **Edit my submission** on the thank-you page. The thank-you page shows the date your link works until, usually two weeks after the event.

If your changes are still waiting for approval, anything you save updates that submission.

To throw away your edits and go back to the last version, click **Reset**, then confirm **Reset to original?**.

## If you present sessions

The organizer may also send you a link for each of your sessions. Once you have more than one link, a menu at the top right of the page lists your profile and each of your sessions. Pick one to move between them.
