Apply to Speak for Business Goes Green

To submit now for all events, please send your proposal to speakers@ihollywoodforum.com and also use our Speaker Submission Form. The initial deadline for submissions is December 15, 2007 but we select speakers on an ongoing basis until all spots are filled.

There is no charge for speaking and we do not require sponsorship. However, we get hundreds of submissions for each event and have room for only 10-percent of submissions.

Our goal is to offer presentations that maximize interaction and dialogue to enhance the experience of our attendees. To guide your thinking, we ask that you convey the expertise or experience you want to share through one of the following formats:

Keynote: Nationally recognized executives or leaders for keynote presentations to general sessions
Breakout Speaker: Speakers before select breakout sessions
Case Study and Workshops: Presentation of one or two partners showing strategies for solving a problem and outcome
Panelist: Panelists for breakout sessions led by a moderator
Moderator: Journalists, analysts, business consultants, executives to moderate breakout sessions
Product Demonstration: Paid exhibitor or sponsor makes demonstrations to the audience

Here are the topics we will be covering. Feel free to suggest others. Please indicate your areas of expertise:

Entrepreneurs and investors

We are accepting papers and abstracts for 30 minute presentations. Abstracts should include a case study with a specific end user describing the problem and solutions. Please submit no more than two pages describing your proposed topic and theme with narrative or outline of presentation and a brief bio. Send to speakers@ihollywoodforum.com.

We select dynamic, knowledgeable speakers based on expertise, company affiliation, speaking experience, and relevance of proposed topics. Speakers are expected to use their platform to discuss the topic at hand, not make a sales pitch for their company, products or services. We consider all stages including Fortune 500 companies, middle stage companies and emerging startups with innovative technologies.

Criterion we consider include company history and reputation; job title; speaking experience; degree of clients and customers; press and analyst reviews; investment status; innovative products, services or applications.

For most events speakers receive a full comp ticket to attend (except for co-located summits at trade shows.)

However, if you were not selected and want to secure a definite speaking spot, we offer sponsored product demonstrations which includes making product demonstrations to the audience, speaking spot on panel, case study, and exhibiting in the product showcase. You can view details in the sponsorship section. Please see our sponsorship page for information about paid opportunities.
