We’ve already created all of the session topics—your job is to choose which ones you would love to lead. When you apply, you’ll:
  • Select up to 3 pre-written topics you’d feel confident teaching
  • Rank them in preference order
  • Optional: Let us know if you’re open to participating in a live panel

No guessing, no vague pitches. We’re here to pair your genius with a session that aligns with what our audience needs most.

By giving you clear, pre-written topics to choose from, we take the guesswork out of pitching—and make sure every session fits beautifully into the overall flow of the summit. 


That means less work for you, a better experience for attendees, and a super cohesive final product. Win-win-win.

Because we respect your time and your brilliance. After hosting and supporting dozens of summits, we’ve learned that clarity wins—every time. Pre-selecting the topics means no vague pitches, no guesswork. Just pick what fits your genius and we’ll match you with the best fit.

Can I submit my own topic?

+
This round, we’re sticking to the curated list so we can build a cohesive, binge-worthy experience. That said—there’s room for your personal spin and voice. If something’s missing and you’re wildly passionate about it, share it with us in the form!

What kind of sessions are you looking for?

Sessions that are clear, useful, and packed with real value. Teach a strategy, walk through a process, or break down a framework. Help people walk away thinking, “That’s exactly what I needed.”

How long should my session be?

+
Plan for around 20 minutes—enough to teach something meaningful without needing a Netflix-level binge commitment.

Do I need a freebie?
