Update the event page when a speaker changes

A speaker drops out four days before the event. Dash updates the agenda page, the speaker bio and the session time on the live site through a pull request, and lists every other place the old name still appears rather than leaving them to be found later.

@Dash the 2pm speaker on Thursday has pulled out. Their replacement is confirmed. Can you update the site?

Opened a pull request against the event site. Three files changed.

  • Agenda page · session title, speaker name and bio replaced
  • Speakers page · card replaced, photo swapped, old bio removed
  • Session detail page · slug kept, so any link already shared still resolves

Four more places the old name still appears, which the site change does not touch:

  • The printed programme, already at the printer
  • Two scheduled social posts naming the original speaker
  • The attendee confirmation email template
  • The venue signage order, submitted Monday
The two scheduled social posts are the urgent one. They go out tomorrow morning and would announce a speaker who is not coming.

Pull the social posts. Leave the programme, we will do an insert.

The scheduled posts are a write to the publishing tool, so it needs your approval. The request is drafted and waiting: two posts, unschedule only, no replacement drafted yet.

Site pull request is open and ready for review. I have not merged it, since it changes a live page.
