Submit A speaker

Applicants who submit for Investment Summit consideration will be notified by early 2027 by a member of the SelectUSA team if their submission is selected for further consideration. The review and selection process extends over several months as the Investment Summit agenda and year-round programming are being finalized. The U.S. Department of Commerce and SelectUSA internally vets each speaker suggestion and determines alignment with Investment Summit priorities and interests. SelectUSA's programming strives to provide its clients with relevant and informative topics, representing a variety of perspectives while striking an informative balance of FDI fundamentals and emerging trends. To ensure this, SelectUSA endeavors to offer a balance of both returning and new speakers and topics.

Applying does not guarantee a speaking opportunity or the selection of your proposed topic. Due to the high volume of submissions, SelectUSA is unable to accommodate every request. 

Your suggestions and contributions to SelectUSA programming are greatly appreciated.
