Great sessions are clear, focused and built for founders and operators who are actively growing companies.
Our audience values:
Every submission is reviewed carefully. We are looking for strong perspective, operational depth and sessions that will stand up in a room full of experienced builders.
Absolutely no pitching on stage. Put the audience first, always. Your mission as a speaker is to deliver an amazing experience and real value to those attending your talk. We’re all about diversity in speaker submissions. Fresh voices, fresh perspectives! And remember, no repeat content. Keep it original!
We’re all about diversity in speaker submissions, no repeat content. We love working with PR teams to organize sessions, but as the show approaches, it’s essential that we connect directly with the speakers themselves.
If your application is successful, you’ll be responsible for covering your own travel, accommodation, and other logistics. By applying, you agree to let us share your content after the event, use your image in our marketing materials, and record and distribute videos of your talk. Get ready for your close-up!
