Speaker applicant FAQ

You're all set! Our speaker's team will get in touch if your applicant is selected.

The latest we will reach out is 30 days prior to the event. Due to the volume of submissions our team only reaches out if an applicant is selected.

The only place to apply to speak is via our submission form here: Apply to Speak

The sooner the better! We start accepting applications a year out from the event date.

Absolutely! Although we generally have most sessions and speakers confirmed, there is always a possibility of a last minute cancellation. We also consider applicants for other locations should the proposal be a good fit.

Unfortunately due to the volume of submissions our speaker team is unable to provide individualized feedback. Feel free to check out our infographic for tips on how to get your session proposal noticed.

Our submission form will give the option to select any event locations you're interested in speaking at.

If you've attempted to submit your application and received an error, please reach out to registration@digitalsummit.com

Send in a speaking submission that (1) provides a specific, narrow topic (versus broad subject matter that's just theoretical); (2) demonstrates an educational presentation format (think an advanced "how to" session); and (3) is tailored for marketers with at least five years of experience or more (beginner-level or 101 information doesn't resonate).

Pick a focused, teachable marketing topic that allows you to go in-depth with the subject matter and provides attendees with practical tactics/strategies they can apply to their own marketing efforts. And of course, selecting a topic that you're excited about doesn't hurt either.

Yes, all speakers submit their own abstract on any topic that’s relevant to digital marketing.

Absolutely! We can also transfer that pass to a colleague as an alternative.

If you are selected for an editorial speaking role, there are no fees associated.

Editorial speakers do not need to sponsor. Speakers from companies that sell a service or product to the Digital Summit audience have the opportunity to present their approved, educational talk via sponsorship.
