Before your event

Add a speaker who has no account yet

A speaker does not need to belong to your organization or have hosted before. They only need an OpenCEU account under the exact email you approved.

1

Send them the presenter link

First, add their name and email under Approved Speakers and save. Then send them the presenter link.

2

They create an account with the invited email

When they open the link signed out, they see a Join as presenter form right on the page. They type the exact email you approved, choose a password, pick their state and job title, and click Create account & continue. No separate signup page and no waiting.

The email must match exactly

If they sign up with a different email, even a personal alias of the same address, they land as a regular attendee instead of a speaker.
3

They confirm their identity

Next they see a Confirm your identity box. They type their account email again, check the confirmation box, and click Join Event.

4

They land in the green room

Because their email matches your approved speaker list, OpenCEU sends them straight to the green room. They do not see the attendee waiting room.
