Allow presenter to optionally submit a short bio and photo alongside paper

It can be nice to show a bit of info about the speakers on the website, in which case it would be nice to offer an option for speakers to submit a photo and a mini biography alongside their talk.

Note that you could do both as custom fields to registration: one for the bio, and one for a url to the image.
Would that work for you?

We don't really want or care about attendee info, and we'd need the speaker info as early as possible, probably before registration opens… so it seems to me to make more sense to make it part of the speaker submission.
