Speakers
Speakers can find their personal information on the speaker dashboard
SpreaView puts great value on supporting speakers in their professional development by providing clear, structured, and actionable feedback on their sessions. The Speakers section of the documentation explains how speakers can use SpreaView to access their sessions, retrieve review QR codes, view audience feedback, and manage their preferences.
What You’ll Find in This Section
This part of the documentation covers:
- 📢 Notifying speakers: Learn how you can notify speakers to access their dashboard
- 📋 The Speaker Dashboard: Learn what information is available to speakers, how to navigate it, and how to make use of the built-in feedback tools.
- 🧾 Registering as a Speaker: How new speakers can join SpreaView and access their sessions across multiple conferences.
- 🚫 Opting Out: How speakers can choose to opt out of the platform if they prefer not to receive session feedback or be listed in the system.
Speaker Dashboard Overview
Once logged in, speakers are presented with their personalized Speaker Dashboard. This dashboard is designed to help speakers track their past and upcoming sessions and engage with the feedback they receive:
Left Panel – Upcoming Sessions
Right Panel – Delivered Sessions
Whether you’re preparing to speak or reflecting on a recent presentation, SpreaView’s tools are here to help you grow. Let’s get started!

1 - Invitations
Learn how you can invite your speakers to spreaview
Inviting Speakers to SpreaView
Once your conference is set up in SpreaView, it’s important to inform your speakers that they can access their speaker dashboard to download QR codes and view feedback on their presentations. Because SpreaView is designed with privacy in mind, it does not store personal contact information about speakers (such as email addresses). This ensures data protection but also means that direct communication with speakers must be handled outside of SpreaView.
How to Invite Speakers
You can invite your speakers by sending them their personal speaker dashboard link, which you can find in the Speakers Overview section of your conference.
Steps:
- Go to your Conference.
- Navigate to the Speakers overview.
- Locate the speaker you want to invite.
- Copy the Speaker Dashboard URL from their entry in the list.
- Send this link to the speaker via your preferred communication channel.
Accessing Speaker Dashboards
There are two ways a speaker can access their dashboard in SpreaView:
1. Internal SpreaView ID
Each speaker has a unique SpreaView ID, which generates a direct dashboard URL. This is available in the speakers overview of your conference.
2. External ID (Sessionize)
If your conference was imported from Sessionize, each speaker also has an external Sessionize ID, which SpreaView uses to link sessions and feedback.
Reaching Speakers Imported from Sessionize
For conferences using Sessionize integration, SpreaView supports identifying speakers by their Sessionize ID. However, SpreaView still does not store or access the speaker’s email addresses directly.
This means that if you want to notify speakers:
- You must send the message from within Sessionize, using its communication features.
- SpreaView helps by offering a message template you can use.
Where to Find the Message Template
- Enter your Sessionize API ID on the conference details page.
- SpreaView will display a sample message you can copy and use in Sessionize to email your speakers.
This message includes the correct personalized dashboard URLs, allowing each speaker to access their feedback securely and privately.
Summary
- SpreaView does not handle speaker email communication directly due to privacy design.
- Use the Speakers Overview to get individual dashboard URLs.
- For speakers from Sessionize, send messages through Sessionize using SpreaView’s template.
- Make sure each speaker receives their personalized link so they can access feedback and QR codes.
2 - Registration
What can speakers do when they follow the link to their dashboard?
When a speaker follows a personal SpreaView dashboard link—either from an organizer or via an external system like Sessionize—the platform ensures a clear and privacy-respecting experience. Based on whether the speaker is already a registered user, SpreaView will respond in one of two ways.
Option 1: The Speaker Is Not Yet Registered
If the speaker is visiting SpreaView for the first time, they will see a welcome screen with two options:
Register
- Clicking the Register button will redirect the speaker to the login and registration page.
- Here, the speaker can create a new SpreaView account using an email address and password.
- After registering and logging in, the speaker is automatically redirected to their personal dashboard.
Opt Out
If a speaker prefers not to use SpreaView, they can choose to opt out.
This action will:
- Anonymize the speaker’s dashboard and personal information
- Disable registration for that speaker’s dashboard link
- Hide all feedback and performance data from future access
Organizers will no longer be able to associate feedback data with this speaker.
This provides a strong privacy-first approach, giving speakers full control over their presence on the platform.
Option 2: The Speaker Is Already Registered
If the speaker is already a registered SpreaView user and accesses their personal dashboard link:
- SpreaView will recognize the speaker and greet them with a Welcome back message.
- Only a Login button is shown.
- Once the speaker logs in, they will be redirected directly to their personal speaker dashboard.
This ensures a seamless experience for returning users, connecting them instantly with their session feedback and tools.
Summary
Situation | Action Available | Result |
---|
Not registered | Register | Redirects to account creation and then to speaker dashboard |
Not registered | Opt Out | Anonymizes the speaker and disables dashboard access |
Already registered | Login | Redirects to the speaker dashboard |
This flow balances usability and privacy, ensuring speakers can make informed choices about participation and feedback access.
3 - Dashboard
What speakers see when they identified themselves
Once a speaker logs in to SpreaView, they are presented with their personal speaker dashboard. This dashboard is designed to give speakers clear visibility into both their upcoming sessions and the feedback from sessions they have already delivered.
Registered speakers can always access their personal dashboard by navigating to https://spreaview.com/speakers and log in from there.
Layout of the Dashboard
The speaker dashboard is divided into two main sections:
Left Side – Upcoming Presentations
This section displays all presentations that are scheduled in the future across any conference the speaker is participating in. For each upcoming presentation, the tile shows:
- Title of the session
- Scheduled start time and date
- Conference name
- Download button for the QR code
The QR code is unique to each session and can be printed or shown during the session to allow attendees to easily access the review form. This helps speakers gather more feedback by making it convenient for the audience to leave reviews immediately after a session.
Right Side – Delivered Presentations
This section lists all presentations that have already been delivered. Each tile in this section contains:
Title and time of the session
Conference name
Average review scores (if feedback was received)
A link to the full session report
Clicking this link takes the speaker to a detailed overview of the feedback, including:
- Individual rating scores
- Reviewer comments (if allowed)
- Summary statistics
This real-time access to review data provides speakers with valuable insights into how their sessions were received, helping them improve their delivery and content for future events.
Summary
Section | Description |
---|
Left Side | Shows future presentations, with QR code download links |
Right Side | Shows past presentations, includes feedback summaries and links to full reports |
The SpreaView speaker dashboard empowers speakers with direct access to feedback, all in one place—across multiple conferences.
4 - Reports
What can be found on a speaker report
The Speaker Report in SpreaView provides presenters with detailed insights into how their sessions were received by attendees. It includes both individual session feedback and conference-level metrics, helping speakers better understand their performance and impact.
📊 Session Review Categories
Each session is evaluated by attendees based on four core categories:
- Speaker – The speaker’s clarity, engagement, and presence
- Content – The relevance, depth, and usefulness of the session content
- Delivery – The quality of the presentation and use of materials
- Interaction – How well the speaker interacted with the audience
📝 Optional Free Comments
Conference organizers can choose to enable a free comments section in the review form. If enabled, attendees can leave open feedback in addition to numeric ratings.
📈 Feedback Summary
Each Speaker Report displays:
- Scores and averages per review category
- An overall average score
- A list of all received comments (if enabled)
Comments are presented in an expandable list so speakers can read them one at a time. If a speaker comes across an inappropriate or abusive comment, they should report it directly to the conference organizers.
Conference Metrics
In addition to session-specific scores, SpreaView provides conference-level insights, including:
- Total number of speakers and number of sessions
- Average review scores for the entire conference
- Total number of reviews submitted by attendees
- Your session’s position in the speaker ranking (based on the “Speaker” score)
🔒 Note:
Some of these features—such as rankings and conference-wide statistics—are only visible if the conference license supports them and the organizer has chosen to enable them.
Conference Top 10
At the bottom of the Speaker Report page, speakers will find a Top 10 list of the highest-rated sessions in the conference. This ranking is based on the Average score only and is limited to the top 10 presentations. This gives speakers a sense of where they stand among peers while keeping the focus on positive performance.
Privacy and Fairness
SpreaView ensures that all data shown in the speaker report is collected transparently and used to help speakers improve. Rankings and comments are intended as constructive tools, and any abuse should be reported.
