​

Please note that even if we don't respond to your application, due to the large volume of speaker requests we receive, your application is being considered carefully. A member of the Advisory Board may reach out to you, if more information is needed during the selection process, or with a letter of acceptance, if selected to be a speaker.

​

DEADLINES FOR SUBMISSIONS

We do not have formal cut-off deadlines for speaker submissions. As a general guideline, however, we book our speakers 3-4 months in advance. Our Agenda is up-to-date and should be a good indicator of any openings.  When a slot opens up, our Advisory Board makes a recommendation based on the candidate speaker's information (outlined above). 

We encourage candidate speakers to express their interest for future conferences as well, not only for the upcoming conference (see top-of-page links for future venues).

GENERAL SPEAKER INFORMATION

Speakers are offered a complimentary pass. Since we accept no sponsorship, we are not able to accommodate any other expenses. Speakers choose their own topics (subject to approval by our board) from the following pre-approved broad themes: (1) Education for Data Science; (2) Open Source vs Proprietary Services; (3) Change Management; (4) Methods; (5) Data Science for Social Good; and (6) Ethics.

Presentations are either 20 or 30 minutes long. Please take the time to visit our FAQ, PICTURES, ARCHIVES, and TERM & CONDITIONS pages (under ABOUT on our website). It should give you a good idea on what to expect as a potential speaker.

All participants, including speakers, must read and accept the Terms & Conditions of the conference. As a candidate speaker, please be aware that our Terms contain a section specific to speakers:
