I need to be able to assign my speakers to multiple sessions happening at one time. We have speakers rotate and pop-in for parts of sessions, not the whole thing. I do not want to have multiple sessions appear to do this. How can I mark their sessions as "not busy"? 

One workaround may be to create a copy of the speaker, but I'm not sure how practical this is. Any other work arounds?

Hi Dara,

Hope you are doing well!

In regards to your query, we can assign a speaker to multiple sessions happening at the same time, by importing them using different 'Speaker Codes', For e.g., Speaker 1 can have code 1 and code 2 (here, codes will differentiate the same person by the use of codes). Please review the following article 'Adding Speakers to Your Event' (2nd section in the article).

Hi, this does not work because I cannot hide a speaker and associate them to two sessions at once. Having duplicate speakers would mean they would both show in my speakers list. I am working in Attendee Hub.
