The WorkBoat agenda isn’t assembled in a boardroom. It’s built from proposals submitted by industry leaders just like you, and it starts with our annual Call for Speakers.
We use this open forum to source unique ideas, strong case studies, and innovative approaches to solving the industry’s biggest challenges. And each year, some proposals sail through while others sink. This session is about the difference between the two.
Attendees will:
- Learn how the Call for Speakers process works: the timeline, the online platform, and what you’ll need to have lined up before you hit submit.
- Discover what makes a strong proposal: how to write an abstract that grabs our attention, what we’re looking for in our reviews, the topics that are overplayed and underrepresented, and how to draw on your company’s expertise to build a session that serves the industry — rather than sells a product.
- Explore sponsorship opportunities tied to speaking: options for companies looking to establish themselves as thought leaders, and how this option can help you gain a bigger presence at the show.
Your expertise belongs on our stage. This session gives you a leg up to get there.
Come with questions — and your half-formed ideas — and start building your proposal for 2027.
