Education, not promotion
Presentations must be educational in nature and not promotional. Submissions are reviewed and may be sent back for edits if too commercial.
Selected speakers get the opportunity to showcase their expertise to an engaged audience, and featured exposure through pre- and post-event marketing, including digital promotions, social media and event communications. Please note that speaking is unpaid, and travel and hotel expenses are the responsibility of the speaker.
