### General Info

- Use the **Contact** lookup field to populate the Speaker record with the Contact record’s data. The Speaker record will include the **Image URL** and **Alternative Text for Visual Impairment**.
  - Note: Images uploaded via the Event Builder will only be added to the Speaker record. If there is an existing, related Contact record, the Speaker **Image URL** and **Alternative Text for Visual Impairment** must be added manually to the existing Contact record.
- A Speaker card includes the Speaker’s photo (**Image URL**), full name (**First Name**, **Last Name**),  and title (**Title**).
- Speakers are ordered by Featured and then the Speaker's full name.
- Deleting a Speaker from an Event or Session only removes the Speaker from the Event. It does not delete the record from your org.
