Speaker Selection Criteria

Not every submission is booked

Our publications are curated. These are the voices we put in front of our audience — and a speaker is considered when they are:

Active in real transactions.

Practitioners shaping deals now, not commentators on them.

A point of view that holds up with professionals.

Our audience runs the process. The conversation has to teach them something.

Something specific to teach.

A framework, a hard-won lesson, a pattern you've seen across many deals.

Not a product pitch.

Expertise earns the invitation. Promotion doesn't.
