Hi Shannon,
That is a great question. I'm not all that familiar with Sessions and the Agenda widget. I just did some poking around and I didn't see a way to set the speaker order within the Speaker section of the Agenda widget - either via the web builder or via the Session configurations.
I also tried re-ordering both the people and the speaker category display order within the Speaker configurations and it didn't seem to impact the display order within the Agenda widget on the website.
So, I am stumped too, unfortunately!
Best,
Kirsten

Hi Kirsten,
Thank you for this information. I am using Flex as well. I did come across the Set Order functionality under Speakers and reordered them so that they would show alphabetically when using the Speakers widget, which I am using on a separate dedicated page. I was hoping I could display the speakers in a slightly different order within the Sessions widget only by displaying the Moderator first. I do have all Moderators categorized as such behind the scenes, but it sounds like the Set Order functionality impacts all areas where speakers are displayed - is that accurate?

Hi Shannon,
If you go to Event Details > Speakers, in the top right, there is an "Actions" dropdown. Select "Set Order". Once you are on the "Set Order" page, you can reorder the how your speakers display by clicking in the "reorder" column on the row of the speaker you want to move and dragging the row to where you want it to be. So, you would find the row for Tenille Washburn, click on the right "Reorder" column, and drag her row to the top of the speaker list.
You can also set speaker category for each speaker (within the speaker details) and it will group speakers by category. You can also select the order that you want the category to show.
I should note that I am using Flex. I don't know if these options exist in Classic.
Hope this helps!
Best,
Kirsten

Hi Everyone,
Is it possible to reorder the list of speakers assigned to a specific session so that they display a certain way within the Sessions widget? For example, all of my sessions are panels, and I would like for the Moderator to be displayed first and then the panelists in alphabetical order after that. In the attached example image, it looks like the speakers are listed in alpha order by default, but I would like Tenille Washburn to be listed first as she is the moderator. Thanks for your help in advance!
