Speaking Opportunities

No matter where an attendee is in their education or career, attending a WE Local conference is known to be the best way to connect with- and -be inspired by other engineers and technologists close to home. WE Local offers two opportunities to speak at each conference which include:

• Keynote Speakers
• Breakout Session Speakers

Keynote Speakers 

As a Keynote, you will deliver thought-provoking and motivational content that draws from personal experience. The most successful Keynote Speakers are those who are authentic and engage with the audience.

For an example of a past successful and highly rated Keynote Speaker, view Dr. Sonia Rocha-Sanchez’s Keynote online. View the 2022 WE Local Keynote Speaker Summary for more information.

Due to the hyper local atmosphere, WE Local seeks Keynote Speakers who live in, are from, or do business in the city and state of each conference.  

Submissions for WE Local Albuquerque Keynote Speakers will open August 2021!

Breakout Session Speakers

WE Local seeks speakers to contribute content related to a variety of topics including academia, entrepreneurship, finance management, career paths and strategies, social issues, re-entering the workforce, retirement, and more.

Breakout Sessions speakers can submit a breakout session via the Call for the Participation (CFP) portal of their desired conference.
