Keynotes

Manage your conference's invited keynote speakers and their content. This sub-tab is not built yet — it currently shows a coming-soon placeholder.

Last updated: 2026-06-28

Purpose

The Keynotes sub-tab is where you will manage invited keynote speakers and their content. In the current build it is a placeholder: opening it displays a "Coming with the Phase 2 invited-content workflow" message, so there are no keynote management controls here yet.

Coming soon

Keynote management ships with the Phase 2 invited-content workflow. Until then, this sub-tab only displays a placeholder.

TODO — confirm

The current code renders Keynotes as a placeholder (not an interactive editor). The fields, upload requirements, and publishing behavior of the finished sub-tab are not yet implemented, so the walkthrough below is limited to what you can do today. Confirm the final feature set before documenting steps.

When you use it

Once the feature ships, you'll use this sub-tab to invite keynote speakers, collect their materials, and place them on the schedule. Today, the only keynote-related settings live elsewhere.

Walkthrough

  1. 1

    Open the Conference Leadership Console, select your conference, open the Presentation System tab, and click the Keynotes sub-tab to see the current status.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, set the files keynote speakers must upload on the Settings sub-tab under Invitation Requirements — these apply to all invited content, including keynotes.

  3. 3

    Keynote counts you record elsewhere feed the Session Plan planner's capacity math (keynote rooms and slots), so keep them accurate.

Tips

In the meantime
  • Reserve keynote-tier rooms and keynote-kind time slots now so the planner has somewhere to place keynotes when the workflow lands.
  • Use the Webinar license type in Settings → Licensed Chairs for hosts of virtual keynotes/plenaries.
