How do we write our programmes and invite speakers? We work hard to ensure that our conference programmes follow a well planned and logical structure and always address the most pertinent and strategic issues. Our thoroughly researched agendas aim to match the right speaker to the right topic. We therefore do not do a “call for papers” or ask people to submit potential presentations. Instead, the Conference Producers, who are responsible for writing the programmes and securing senior-level speakers across all of our events, invite executives from key 'core' companies within the sector to present case studies or address a key issue affecting the industry. If you would like to propose a speaker or presentation topic, we would be delighted to chat to you and discuss it further. Please contact the Conference Production Team at: Information for advisors or suppliers to industry Do you want to raise your organisation’s profile as a leading advisor or supplier to one of our industry sectors? If you are an advisor or supplier (such as a consultant, IT firm, lawyer or accountant) to our “core” market, we are always interested to hear from you. Contact: info@smithnovak.com Information for Communications Departments & PR agencies Our conference programmes focus on strategic issues and therefore often cover important policy or regulatory initiatives. Speakers often use our events as a platform to communicate key messages, challenge the current government or regulatory thinking and promote new ideas. We work closely with a number of Communications teams and PR agencies and are always happy to hear from you. If you wish to propose a speaker and speaking session please contact the Conference Production team on: info@smithnovak.com When are speaking places available? Following extensive research and consultation with key industry executives, we start inviting our target list of speakers about six months before a conference is due to take place. |
