Speak at SMX London
24-25 October, 2024
Park Plaza Victoria

Thank you for considering speaking at SMX London 2024!

SMX London is taking place 24-25 October, 2024.

Deadline for submissions: 17 May, 2024
Speakers will be notified by: 7 June, 2024

Below you will find information on the process and all the benefits you will have should you be accepted as a speaker, as well as some tips for a successful application.

About the conference

One of our most important differentiators to the many events out there is: We are vendor-neutral and so is our conference program. Every presentation is hand-picked, given by experts for experts and our high-quality sessions always deliver actionable value and inspiration. We also encourage in-depth discussions and Q&A sessions during the event and offer interactive formats.

The result of this intense vetting process is that as a speaker at SMX London you will be presenting in front of an enthusiastic, international, and knowledgeable audience.

Why you should apply – your benefits

• Free access to all sessions on both conference days, plus a personalized discount code for your colleagues and friends.
• Extensive event preparation and support: You will receive a detailed speaker briefing six weeks before the event, as well as in-depth feedback on your draft presentation. If you need more support or coaching, all you need to do is ask. Our common goal is to make your session a success.
• Expand your network: As a speaker, we invite you to our speaker’s dinner the evening before the conference. Here you will meet (inter)national top experts in a small setting – a great opportunity to extend your network with some of the most important people in the industry. Additionally, the conference offers several opportunities to network with your peers, e.g. the networking get-together after the first day.
• VIP Speaker’s lounge: Enjoy the tranquillity of the speaker’s lounge, away from all the hassle. You can prepare your session, organize meetings, and make sure you meet everybody that you might have missed at the speaker’s dinner.
• After the conference, we will provide you with professional speaker pictures that you are free to use for your very own portfolio.
• Personal & professional development: We will provide you with first-hand feedback from the attendees, giving you the opportunity to develop your presentation skills and get even better.
• We will help you raise awareness of your topic and build your personal brand. Our marketing activities include social media posts, newsletters, and teaser videos.

The Process 

• After submitting your application using the form below, you will receive an automated confirmation. We review applications on an ongoing basis.
• The selection is based on your session title and description. If your topic is relevant, new, interesting and the description is a good appetizer, your chances of being accepted are higher. If you can send a video, even better!
• Submissions by the marketing or PR department and sales pitches will be rejected.
• There is no fee to submit an idea or a speaking pitch, nor do we pay any session speakers to present at SMX. Please note that we unfortunately can’t cover any T&E.
• Deadline for submissions is 17 May, 2024 and you will hear from us between May and June 2024 at the latest. If we are convinced that your topic and you are a perfect fit you might hear from us sooner. It’s definitely an advantage to submit early to ensure that “your” topic is not taken already.

And last but not least: No sales pitch! Attendees come to the conference to learn, not to hear about what you sell. If you would like to present your company or your services, then please have a look at our sponsoring options.
