Speaking Opportunities

We are continually searching for speakers who will captivate, inform, inspire and entertain our attendees. If you're a retailer, e-commerce practitioner, academic, author, futurist or visionary thought leader, and you'd like to share your experience and knowledge, then we'd like to hear from you.

Simply email your proposed topic heading and a short synopsis (including key take-a-ways) of your presentation to Grant Arnott at grant@online-retailer.com.au.

Speaking sessions are generally between 30 and 45 minutes. If you are a vendor, we recommend that you offer to co-present with a client to increase your chance for selection. Speakers are expected to use their platform to discuss the topic at hand, not make a sales pitch for their company, products or services.

Speaker Rules

• No selling from the stage
• Strict adherence to the time clock
• All presentations must be made available for distribution to attendees via the Online Retailer website post event
• All presentations must be unique and exclusive to Online Retailer

Speaker Benefits

Speaking at a conference is an enormously rewarding experience. The most obvious benefit to yourself and to your company is to position yourself as an industry expert by demonstrating a continuing presence at the cutting edge of knowledge. You also gain creditability and leadership status amongst industry professionals. Being a speaker also encompasses all the benefits of a delegate place, namely the chance to get to know your peers in other businesses and learn from colleagues facing similar challenges in different sectors. Speaking at a conference also presents a terrific recruitment opportunity, as delegates in the audience considering their next move are often impressed by a charismatic and enthusiastic presentation.
