Update your profile details and photo, choose your display language when your community offers it, turn Public profile on or off when eligible, or schedule account deletion from Settings & privacy.

Use your signed-in profile menu to change the details and photo on your public profile page, choose your display language when your community offers it, control whether that page is public, or schedule deletion of your account. Communities can customize which fields appear and whether language, privacy, or self-deletion is available.

Edit your profile

Open Edit profile to change the information that appears on your profile page, including your photo when the community allows it.

1. Sign in, then open your profile menu in the upper-right corner (your photo or name).
2. Select Profile.
3. Select Edit profile.
4. Update the fields you want to change. Communities often include name, company, title, about me, email, website, location, timezone, social links, and interests.
5. Select Save.

Change your profile picture

Your profile picture appears in events (including conferences), comments, and on your profile page. Upload it on the same Edit profile page as your other details — then save the form.

1. Open Edit profile as described above.
2. Next to the preview labelled Avatar (some communities say Profile picture), select Upload.
3. Choose a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WEBP image, then select Open.
4. Select Save.

Use a square photo. The site center-crops the image to a square, so a wide or tall picture may cut off faces or edges. There is no in-app cropper for the profile picture, and no control to remove a photo after you upload one — uploading a new image replaces the previous one. If the site says the image is too large, choose a smaller file.

Some communities also show a Banner on this page. Select Choose a banner image or Change banner, pick a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WEBP file, drag the image to set the crop, then select Save.

Choose your display language

When your community offers it, you set the language for the site UI from Settings & privacy. The choice is saved to your account. On single sign-on (SSO) communities, a later SSO login does not overwrite a language you chose here.

1. Sign in, then open your profile menu in the upper-right corner.
2. Select Settings & privacy.
3. Open the Language tab.
4. Choose a language from the list. The change saves when you select it — there is no separate Save button on this tab.
5. Optional: choose Use site default to clear your saved preference and follow the community default again.

Make your profile private or public

When your community allows it, you choose whether other people can find and open your profile page.

1. Sign in, then open your profile menu in the upper-right corner.
2. Select Settings & privacy.
3. Open the Account privacy tab.
4. Turn Public profile on or off:
   • On — your profile is searchable and viewable on the site.
   • Off — your profile is private. It is not searchable, and only you and site admins can view it.
5. Select Save. A confirmation appears when the save succeeds.

Turning Public profile off does not delete your account, cancel event tickets, or remove chapter membership.

Delete your account

Account deletion is scheduled with a short delay so you can cancel if you change your mind. Most communities use a seven-day delay; the confirmation screen shows the number of days for your community.

1. Sign in, then open your profile menu in the upper-right corner.
2. Select Settings & privacy.
3. Open the Delete account tab.
4. Select Delete account.
5. Confirm in the dialog. If prompted, enter your password, then select Delete account again. If you sign in with SSO only, you may not be asked for a password.

After you confirm, the page shows the scheduled deletion date. Select Cancel deletion before that date if you want to keep the account.
