Why Speak at All Things Open?

In addition to the above 6 items, the following four are important as well:

• Tremendous Networking Opportunities / We place great importance on networking and meeting new people, and we structure the event with this in mind. Multiple networking opportunities are made available to speakers, including in-person socials (when applicable) before, during, and after the conference as well as after-hour events hosted by partners designed to promote education, communication, and sharing. In addition, virtual opportunities exist in all virtual platforms to connect with attendees and fellow speakers.
• Speaker Assets Made Available / In-person events are routinely "officially" photographed and many sessions are recorded. All resulting assets (pictures and recordings) are made available to speakers post-event at no charge and can be used however the speaker chooses. We can also arrange for "special" pictures to be taken with enough advanced notice and planning. If a virtual-only event, we record all talks and promote recordings on our YouTube channel post-event, to further enhance speaker exposure and reach. In addition, we're happy to make raw files available to be used at the discretion of the speaker.
• Fellow Speaker Introductions / Upon request, we're happy to introduce speakers to other event speakers. We of course will seek the approval of the speaker on the receiving end of the request, but upon approval will immediately make the connection.
• Speaker-Specific networking Opportunities / We fully understand speakers find tremendous value in meeting other speakers and sharing information, ideas and expertise. If onsite, we host a stand-alone speaker lounge (entirely optional) as well as a Speaker/Sponsor dinner designed to give you additional face-to-face opportunities.

Interested in speaking and don't see something of benefit here? Feel free to reach out and make a special request at info@allthingsopen.org. We're open to customization and will happily work with you.
