Tell us about innovations, ideas, practices, people, policies and programs that enable a more equitable and just economy. Tell us about obstacles. What can our conference participants learn from your expertise and from other speakers you invite to join you in a session? Talk to them – we ask moderators to plan and communicate with their speakers. Most sessions feature three or four speakers who are subject matter experts, including a moderator who leads and frames a discussion. Some may feature formal presentations by each speaker; some may be less formal and more conversational. A workshop might provide training or practical insight, best practices, research findings or some kind of instruction for people in a specific fields.

The ideal sessions includes:

• A clear title and description
• A capable expert moderator
• An interesting, qualified, inspiring and inclusive mix of speakers and moderator

Consider

• What’s the session about?
• Why is it important?
• Who will be interested in the topic?
• What will attendees get out of it?
• What format do you have in mind – panel discussion, conversational, formal presentations, workshop, moderated interviews, audience participation?

The ideal speaker or moderator is:

• Experienced, engaging, and comfortable speaking in front of large groups – ranging from 100 to 1,000 people
• Passionate about sharing expertise, real-world strategies and knowledge
• Willing to partner with NCRC and our conference team to deliver the best possible content experience and relevant information for our audience
• Available to attend the entire event and engage with attendees, schedule permitting
• Committed to sharing #JustEconomy links on your social networks
• Interested in partnering with NCRC and staying connected to the NCRC community beyond the conference itself

Payment or cost for speakers?

• In general, we waive the conference registration fee for confirmed speakers, but speakers are responsible for their own travel arrangements.
