Keynote Speakers
Keynotes deliver thought-provoking and motivational content that draws from personal experience. For an example of a past successful keynote address, view Dr. Sonia Rocha-Sanchez’s Keynote.
SWE is now accepting keynote speaker nominations for the 2023 WE Local conferences.
If you know a leader who would deliver a great keynote presentation, please nominate them before October 17, 2022. Due to the regional atmosphere, preference is given to keynote speakers who live in, are from, or do business in the region of each conference. The most successful keynote speakers are those who are authentic and engage with the audience.
