Eligibility
There are a limited number of speaking slots available so here are some things to keep in mind when preparing your submission:
- Your topic should be educational, not a sales pitch. Speak to a problem or challenge that entrepreneurs and/or executives encounter in their work and, where possible, offer up strategies and tools that they can bring home with them.
- They hand-select most of our mainstage speakers. You’re far more likely to be accepted to speak if your topic can be presented in one of the following formats:
- Workshops – 75-90 minutes: These sessions involve a mix of lecture, discussion, and exercises. Workshops should be highly interactive and offer actionable tools to help participants address a specific challenge.
- Case Studies – 60 minutes: These engaging sessions highlight a real-life situation or problem that can be analyzed and used for discussion and learning.
- Ignite Talks – 5 minutes: These talks are ideal for illustrating a big idea, a series of lessons learned, or a compelling story. Speakers get 5 minutes on stage and must use 20 slides with each slide advancing automatically after 15 seconds.
