Speaker Proposal Form

Use this form to submit a session proposal for all MarketingProfs speaking opportunities. Except for multi-hour workshops, all speaking in-person and online presentations are live and range between 20 and 60 minutes in length.

*Submissions received by January 30 of the event year will be considered for MarketingProfs B2B Forum, which takes place in Boston November 12–14, 2024. Speaking sessions will be in-person. Please note: MarketingProfs does not pay speaker honorariums nor cover speaker travel for the B2B Forum.

Due to the significant number of proposals received, we are not able to respond to every proposal.

Please read the following tips and information before you submit your specific session:

  • All proposals must be educational in nature, B2B-focused, non-promotional, and vendor-neutral.
  • All sessions must be original and tactical in content and offer clear, actionable takeaways/session learning objectives for attendees that you should detail below.
  • Sessions that include case studies and speakers from brand-side companies or users will receive preference over those that do not.
  • Vendor submissions must include a client-side co-speaker to present a case study as a condition to speak. (We know this sounds harsh, but it's what the attendees want and request.)
  • A slide presentation is required for all sessions, including panel sessions.
  • Submissions that include links to one or more videos that demonstrate your past conference or webinar speaking experience receive stronger consideration. You may also submit videos of podcasts or interviews as supporting evidence of your speaking abilities.

Please be sure to fill in all required fields marked with a red asterisk *

Please note, selecting “I am interested in all opportunities” will not disqualify your proposed session from consideration for B2B Forum. Speaking submissions for online programs are often used for general qualification, and we may contact you about doing alternate session topics based on our online program needs.
