Every organizer can add custom field for any link they want to collect.

Looking for that canned response... 🙂

Indeed, the numbers are not on Bluesky side. 30 mil users compared to 3 billion of users on that other outdated social network.

We simply have to be careful about adding new networks here, as practically impossible to remove it.

You're officially the first speaker ever that used this feature! :-)

Care to help us with the new speaker feature we're working on? Upload your verified badge to your speaker profile!

If you're using Credly or (even better) other platform that supports Open Badges 2.0 standard, we'd appreciate your help! Just upload your OB2 badge to sessionize.com/app/speaker/...

That's also the endorsement. Maybe even a bigger one. The UI would be really cluttered if we'd include all services that people use and love. There are so many of them!

Bluesky with 30M users is on the rise, and we definitely prefer it over X (600M) — but new platforms can be unpredictable and trends fleeting. It's important to be cautious when incorporating new networks. Excited to see where it goes! 💙

Big updates to our email system! 🎉

Yes, but that's not verifiable, so we cannot consider them. Anyone can add any number of events.

Of course, we can only track events that occur on our platform.

It’s that time of year! We're excited to share the top 3% of Sessionize speakers for 2024 - 1,036 standout speakers from 38,000 accepted this year.

Congratulations to these incredible voices shaping our community!

...when making the *public* list. They still got the badge, just we cannot list them publicly because they chose not to be.

Having public or private profile is not an award criteria, we award top 3% of all speakers in 2024.

It is not ordered, order is random. And it changes every now and then.

Sorry about that! Actually, only the homepage was down for a couple of minutes, hope you managed to submit your session!

Of course the API includes the speaker names! Please contact us with the endpoint you use, so we can take a look.

Can be done over the weekend 😉

There is a possibility to add custom links that can be used to add Bluesky profile. Please use that for now; we'll continue monitor the situation and act when we feel the time is right. We love Bsky and hoping that day will come soon.

Same logic applies here, the momentum is not there yet. Please understand the big picture here - if we'd include all social networks with 100+ million users, the form would be huge. And Bsky has only 25m or so.

You don't have to keep X. There are many login options, including the classic one that doesn't require any social network.

We're aware of the growing popularity of Bluesky, but it still falls far short of the user base of the largest social networks.

Emotions aside, it's important to be cautious when incorporating new networks, as trends can be fleeting.

X has 500 million users, Bluesky 24 million.

Verification, if exists, should be available to everyone, especially to new speakers or the ones that get rejected. On the other hand, there are small, local, community events that are sometimes not reliable source of truth.

Then feel free to implement it, if you want. Let us know if you need any help!

To be honest, anyone can create a public speaker profile on Sessionize. We do clean it up from obvious spam, but still.

Awards on speaker profiles are verified in a similar way that this tool does it. So, for example, list like this sessionize.com/microsoft-mvps is a verified source of truth.
