Opportunities for Content LeadersThank you for your interest in being a content leader at a VSAE event. VSAE is always looking for good speakers and presenters. There are several opportunities to speak at a VSAE event. A list of some of those opportunities is included below. To be considered for future events, the first step is completing our Content Leader Submission Form using the button below. Submissions received by March 15, 2021 will be considered by the Education Committee at their Spring 2021 meeting for events held during the Q3 & Q4 of 2021. Priority is given to presentations specifically related to associations. Most of our keynote speakers are arranged with Blanche Powell of Powell Kohne Associates, LLC. Events during 2021 may be virtual, in-person and hybrid. We have several different speaking opportunities. Virtual Seminars: Each virtual seminar offers at least one-and-a-half (1.5) hours of educational content. Topics cover nearly all aspects of association management including communications, leadership, membership, strategic planning, and so much more. Seminar Series: This event is held on the first Friday of February, March, April, June, September, and November. Speakers conduct a 2.5 hour seminar and a 15-20 minute presentation during a luncheon or breakfast. The two presentations should be similar or related, though not identical. Annual Conference: This three-day event is held annually in early May. There are one or two hour-long keynote presentations and at least eight 75-minute breakout sessions. Fall Conference: This event is held annually in October. It includes an hour-long keynote presentation followed by 90-minute breakout sessions. In addition to association executives, this event targets professional meeting planners from all markets, social, government, and corporate. Other Events: VSAE also holds several peer-to-peer meetings throughout the year where there may be a speaking opportunity. These events range in length from 90-minute meetings to two-day retreats. Examples include the CEO & Senior Staff Retreat, AMC Retreat, Meeting Planner Summit, and various Shared Interest Group (SIG) meetings throughout the year.
