The event organizer will send an invitation to speak at the event and must be a 1st-degree connection to send this invitation.

You have to accept the invitation to be listed as an event speaker. There are two ways to accept the invitation:

• You can accept the invitation directly from the event page. The organizer may send you a direct link to the event page where you can click Accept or Decline.
• Invitations to speak at an event will generate a notification on your Notifications tab. Push notifications or notifications via email are not available for this feature at this time. To manage this notification, go to the Events Notifications you receive page or follow the below steps.

If you are using the LinkedIn mobile app, please make sure you have the latest version of LinkedIn to use the feature properly.

Once you’ve accepted the invitation, you’ll be listed as an event speaker on the event page and in the Highlight section of your profile. Please note that all events are public, and your information will be visible to both attendees and non-attendees. The event attendees and a subset of your network may receive a notification when the event starts, depending on the event type and their notification settings.

You can help promote the event by sharing it with your network in a post.

If you’re hosting your event from a LinkedIn Page and wish to add yourself as the speaker, ask another Page admin to invite you as a speaker.
