Your profile picture is how your friends and colleagues will identify and connect your avatar with the real you. So, we strongly recommend that you use a good, clear and current picture of yourself. There are two ways to add or change your profile image (and your other information details).

During the login process

Before you enter the Slidefair virtual world, you will be given the opportunity to update your information.

This page appears after the system checks your credentials, microphone access and camera settings.

Below the hexagon shape, you will see the field ‘Picture:’

Click the ‘Choose file’ button below it, which will open your file explorer . Once you have found the image you would like to use, select it and click ‘Open’ to upload the file to Slidefair.

The information you provide here is visible to other attendees and will also be available on your virtual business card.

Editing your profile picture in the platform

In the top menu bar, on the top right corner of the screen, you will see your name in a button and a small downward arrow. Click on your name to access your personal profile.

This will open a drop down menu, from there, select edit profile to open up a screen similar to the “Your Information” screen on log in. 

You can easily change or add information about yourself in Slidefair.

Please note that all information you provide, including your name, LinkedIn profile link and Bio, are visible to other attendees. So do not add anything to your profile that you would not like to make available.

Your information can be added or changed in two main ways:

Adding your information during the login process

You have the opportunity to update your information before you enter our virtual world. This page appears after the system checks your credentials, microphone access and camera settings. 

This page gives you the opportunity to update your name, Job title, the company you work for or represent, your LinkedIn profile link and a short biography about yourself. 

This is also the perfect opportunity to make yourself easier to recognise with a profile picture. The information you provide here will be visible to others on the platform and will also be available on your virtual business card.

When you have filled in the information to your liking, click continue and enter the virtual platform.

While on the platform

In the top menu bar, on the top right corner of the screen, you will see your name in a button and a small downward arrow. Click on your name to access your personal profile.

This will open a drop down menu, from there, select edit profile to open up a screen similar to the “Your Information” screen on log in.

Help us keep your account secure by following these tips.

With an organiser’s Slidefair or Slidecrew account, you have access to sensitive data, so be sure to use a secure password.

• Never share your it with anyone, not even your colleague.
  If they need an account, an administrator can create a new one.
• Use a passphrase, for example: “Online*Virtual#Events=C00L!”
• Make it at least 12 characters long.
• Include numbers, capital letters and symbols.
• Consider using a password manager, for example, Lastpass or 1Password 
• Do not post it in plain sight. Studies have found that a lot of people put their password on their monitor with a sticky note.
  If you must write it down, hide it somewhere where no one will find it.
