Managing Profile Fields
In your profile, you'll find various fields available for updates. We strongly recommend completing your profile by filling out all fields and uploading a professional profile picture.
- The first section of your profile allows you to update basic details such as your first name, last name, and headline. For the headline, we recommend including your job title and the company you work for, as this information is the first thing other event participants will see when browsing profiles.
- If enabled for your event, you will also see a Contact Details section. Here, you can manage the contact information you wish to share with others at the event. The visibility options—Public, Connections Only, or Private—are determined by the event organizer. For more details on how these settings work, please refer to this article.
Once you are satisfied with the information you've added, click the Update Profile button at the bottom of the page to save your changes.
If enabled by the event organizer, you can embed a video in your profile. For more details, please see our article on embedding Youtube, Vimeo and Glisser within your profiles.
