Choose a hero image – photographic images work best!
- Photos are best for your main image. We cannot publish images with text, post logos, clip art or flyers.
- Where the speaker is widely known, a high-quality close-up headshot may be most appropriate
- Where the topic may have more broad-based appeal, perhaps an image that shows the subject matter, or the speaker interacting or at work is best
- You can upload flyers and logos as additional images.
- Find image specs and more in our Knowledge base.
