# How to add a speaker to a session

To add a speaker to a session, you must first create that speaker in your overall event.

To do that, you can go to the **Speaker** **tab** on the left side, or you can click **“create a new speaker”** on the session in the Sessions tab (image below).

Once you create the speaker, you can type their name into the search bar in the Session under the “Sessions” tab in the event admin page.

Click on the name, and then click “Add”.

**To remove a speaker from a session,** check the checkbox next to their name, and click “remove speaker” (image below)

**If you are running a virtual event, and the speaker will be speaking virtually, you will need to connect an attendee to the speaker. The next article explains how to do this!**

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://conferencetap.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/organizers/sessions/how-to-add-a-speaker-to-a-session.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
