SPEAKERS

Take the stage at an IBF platform.

Summits, chapter evenings and award nights need people with something specific to say. If that is you, or someone you would recommend, this is the way in.

Propose a talk What we look for

Where you could speak

Three kinds of room, three kinds of talk.

Choose the one you have in mind and the proposal form arrives already knowing it.

Summit

Global summits

The main stage: keynotes, panels and fireside conversations in front of the widest audience the Federation assembles all year.

Speak at the summit

Events

Any IBF event

Put your name in generally and we will come back when something on the calendar fits what you speak about.

Speak at IBF events

Chapters

Chapter events

Smaller rooms in one city, and often the more useful ones — a working session with twenty people who came for exactly your subject.

What we look for

A specific talk beats an impressive biography.

The proposals that get accepted almost always name one thing the speaker knows that the room does not.

Say what the talk is

“How we took a family trading business into exports” is a talk. “Leadership and excellence” is a title looking for one.

Tell us who it is for

Founders, students, established business owners, chapter office-bearers. It changes the room we put you in.

Recommending someone else is welcome

Use the same form and say in the message that you are proposing another person. Give us their name and why.

A sales pitch is not a talk

If the aim is to put your product in front of the room, that is sponsorship, and there is a page for it. Both are welcome; they are not the same thing.

Propose a talk

Tell us what the talk is and who it is for. Proposals are read by the programme committee and you will hear back either way.

Want the room rather than the microphone?

Sponsors put their name on the stage the speakers stand on. Mentors work with people one at a time instead of a hundred at once.
