Talk Checklists

Checklists are assigned to talks by project administrators to guide speakers through required preparation steps.

Where to Find It

Me > Talks > Open a talk > Checklists

Use the Checklists tab to see the preparation steps the event team expects you to complete.

Checklist items appear here after the event team assigns them to the talk.

Completing a speaker readiness checklist

A checklist asks a speaker to upload final slides, acknowledge the AV guide, confirm travel details, and submit recording consent. Each completed item increases the talk's readiness progress.

Viewing Checklists

Navigate to your talk and select the Checklists tab. Each checklist shows:

Field	Description
Checklist name	The name of the applied checklist.
Completion	Number of completed items vs. total, with percentage.
Applied at	When the checklist was assigned to your talk.

Checklist Items

Each checklist contains ordered items that fall into two types:

Task Items

Task-based items appear with a status indicator:

Status	Meaning
Not started	Task has not been begun.
In progress	Task is being worked on.
Pending approval	Task is awaiting approval.
Approved	Task has been approved.
Rejected	Task was rejected and may need rework.

Mark a task as complete by toggling its closed state from the checklist view or the Tasks tab.

Content Items

Content items link to knowledge base articles. If the item requires acknowledgement, you must read and acknowledge the article to mark it complete. See Talk Content for details.

Some task items may have a linked form. Click the form icon to open and complete the associated form submission.

Completion Tracking

Checklist completion feeds into your talk's overall completion percentage shown on the dashboard.

Checklists and Submitting for Review

Before you can Submit for review, the checklists the organizer marked as required for submission must be complete. If you try to submit with one outstanding, ema tells you how many checklists still have incomplete items. Checklists the organizer marked as optional do not block submission. A checklist that did not come from the project's default checklists blocks submission until it is complete.

Connected Feature

The dashboard rolls checklist progress into the talk's overall completion percentage. See Talk Dashboard.
