Does anyone know if there is a way to show/associate which session a speaker is in when someone clicks on their profile from the Speaker widget which is used on our Event website as it does in the Event App? 

•  Speakers & Moderators - APATS 2026 - Asia Pacific Aviation Training Summit

In the Event App, when you click on an individual speaker as well as showing the biography etc. it shows which Session they are in (see picture below).

Is there a way to have this information showing on a speaker profile in the Event Website as well as the app?

Hi Fiona,

Hope you are well!

I checked about your query and unfortunately, the Speaker widget on the Event Website (Site Designer) does not display which sessions a speaker is presenting in from the speaker profile. This is a known product limitation. The widget is designed to display profile-level details only - bio, photo, title, company, social media links - but does not surface speaker-to-session associations from the speaker's profile view.

Since the Speaker widget cannot natively show session associations from the speaker's side, there are a couple of ways to surface this information on the Event Website:

• Agenda/Sessions widget - On the Event Website, you can add an Agenda widget to a page in Site Designer. From there, sessions show their assigned speakers. This is the reverse flow (session → speaker) rather than (speaker → session), but it does allow visitors to find the connection.
  

• Speaker bio text workaround - You can manually reference session names in the speaker's biography field. While manual, it surfaces the session context directly within the Speaker widget popup.

• Direct to Attendee Hub - If the event has Attendee Hub enabled, the post-registration Attendee Hub website fully supports this: clicking a speaker profile shows their sessions, and clicking a session shows its speakers. The Event Website can include a "Go to Event" / Attendee Hub button to direct registered attendees there.
  
  

  I understand your perspective and apologize for any inconvenience. But, it sounds like a great feedback. I suggest you to post this as an Idea/feedback for our product team by going to Cvent Community > Participate > Product Ideas. 
   
  We encourage you to always submit your ideas or any challenges you face while working with the product. As it also help our Product Development team to review the possibilities and if it works we may try to incorporate such changes in our future releases.

  I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
  
  Have a great week ahead!
