MEC Advanced Speaker — Introduction
MEC Advanced Speaker is specifically designed for event websites where speakers play a significant role in attracting attendees. Conferences, seminars, training sessions, online webinars, and large educational programs often feature multiple speakers. Modern Events Calendar’s base system does not fully cover speaker management, so this add-on expands the capability by introducing dedicated speaker profiles with detailed information, visuals, and event links.
The extension allows each speaker to have a professional profile page with a biography, expertise descriptions, social media links, photos, videos, and additional fields. These speaker pages automatically list all events the speaker is involved in, helping visitors explore sessions or workshops led by the same expert. For event managers, it simplifies speaker organization and keeps all related data structured within MEC.
Key Features
- Professional Speaker Profiles: Add bios, headshots, expertise, contact info, awards, and more.
- Automatic Event Linking: Events featuring the speaker are automatically displayed on their profile page.
- Speaker Archive Directory: Display all speakers in a grid or list layout.
- Custom Fields Support: Add certifications, session focus areas, experience, and more.
- Social Media Fields: Link speaker profiles to LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and others.

Getting Started
