This form allows you to pitch to speak for SMX events where an agenda has been posted.
To increase the odds of being selected, be sure to have read the agenda for the show you are interested in. Understand what the sessions are about. Ensure that your pitch is on target to the show’s audience and the session. Please also be very specific about what you intend to cover. Speaking in generalities decreases the odds that you will be selected. Also, if you do not see a particular session listed, this is because there are no openings for that session.
Also, while the form below may allow you to pitch for every session, be selective. Submitting to many sessions suggest you haven’t taken the time to properly consider the best place for you to speak. Consider pitching for only up to three or four sessions in all. That’s not a hard-and-fast rule, but it’s good advice. If you pitch more than one session, indicate in the speaking pitch box your priority (this would be my top choice, my second choice, etc.)
If you’re accepted to speak, you’ll receive a pass to the entire SMX event. Travel and accommodation are not provided. We do try to notify everyone using this form if they have been accepted or rejected as a speaker, usually a month prior to when the event actually happens.
Also be sure to watch the SMX Blog. If there’s late-breaking news about session or speaker pitch instructions, this is how we let people know.
Speaking pitches for SMX West are no longer being accepted.
