Hi Joseph,
You can add the speaker categories as you add the speakers in the back-end of Cvent. If you go to Speakers > Speaker List> Create Speaker, you'll be able to see the speaker category section. If you click the ellipses next to the category field, you'll be able to either add a category from your account or create a new one.
Thank you!
