Participate as Speaker

The GigaOM Network prides itself on the editorial quality of its conferences. Our team consistently brings the most sought after and interesting speakers to the stage, who stimulate the conversations leading to change.

We welcome speaker or workshop proposals. Please keep in mind that we promote the dissemination of learning and insights from implementation and give preference to practice over theory. We will not approve product talks unless the product or service is truly groundbreaking or it is from an individual with a remarkable track record.

Get in touch with us if you’d like to speak at one of The GigaOM Network’s four conferences in 2009. We would love to hear your ideas.

We ask that you fill out the proposal form below to propose a speaker. Our program chairs will follow up with you. Please note that most proposals are reviewed as they are submitted, so it favors you to submit earlier rather than later. Our speaking agenda usually fills up two months before the conference date.
