Key People

Overview

Organisations related to the congress and the people within them.

Key People

The Key People section tracks organisations related to the congress — sections, sponsors, national orthopaedic associations, and so on — and the people within each one, along with their role and responsibilities. Adding or editing key people requires separate access beyond viewing.

Organisations

The Organisations list shows every organisation, with columns for Name, Short Name, and Type. It's searchable and can be filtered by type.

Opening an organisation shows its details — name, short name, abbreviation, type, email, phone, website, address, logo, and description — along with its Key People.

Key People on an organisation

Each key person entry links a Person record to that organisation with two organisation-specific fields:

  • Role — free text (e.g. "CEO", "Treasurer", "Event Coordinator")
  • Responsibilities — a free-text list of tags you build up one at a time (e.g. "budget", "sponsorship"), not a fixed list

To add a key person, use the Add Key Person action: search for an existing person or create a new one inline, then set their Role and Responsibilities. Removing a key person asks for confirmation first — this only removes them from the organisation, it doesn't delete the underlying person record.

People

A person record (name, title, qualifications, bio, photo, affiliations, country) is shared across every organisation they belong to and across the public program — their committee positions and session assignments all appear on their profile.

When creating a new person, you can set:

FieldNotes

Last NameRequired
TitleSelected from the congress's configured title options (e.g. "Dr")
QualificationsMulti-select, from the congress's configured options (e.g. "PhD")

BioUp to 500 characters

Search Responsibilities

Use Search Responsibilities to find who's responsible for something across every organisation — for example, searching "sponsorship" or "registration". It matches against responsibilities, roles, person names, and organisation names, and links each result back to the relevant organisation.
