Speak at a Conference
Have an idea or presentation to share at an upcoming IEDC Conference? 
We’d love to hear about it. Speaking at an IEDC Conference gives you access to share your story, message or strategy with economic developers from across the country and the world.
To be considered for a speaking role, please complete the following form. IEDC staff will review your submission and decide if there is an available role in an upcoming conference that meets your qualifications.
Please note that as a way to keep membership dues and registration fees to a minimum, IEDC does not pay speaker honorariums, speaker expenses or conference registration fees. Confirmed speakers are welcome to attend the session before or after their session excluding the keynote luncheon or receptions without registering for the conference.

Additionally, completion of this form does not commit you to a speaking role. All speakers will receive an official invitation and confirmation from IEDC. Your interest form will be kept on file for 2 years.
