NOTE:  You will be contacted by the regional event team towards scheduling your speaking role.  Please check-in at the Welcome/Info Center station upon your arrival to confirm your event presence and timeslot.  All speakers for Main Stage should practice timing for just under the total duration length of their own individual speaking timeslot (as you indicate below).  Thank you for planning and practicing ahead.

CONTACT INFORMATION is required, of course, to mutually discuss/confirm your scheduled speaking role, and to receive emailed event updates as may from time to time be applicable.  Also, any bonus information about special arrangements for carpooling, roomsharing, and such related matters will be shared amongst all registered speakers, performers, volunteers and other event "insider" persons who want to participate in those extra mutual benefits.  Please provide enough contact information to suit your own needs below.

YOUR SUBJECT/TOPIC FOR SPEAKING must be pro-parent, pro-family and/or directly related similar, which still covers an infinite variety of possible speaking topics regarding parents.  Please provide the title of your speech and briefly describe the subject and content of your planned speech within the following two (2) text input boxes:

YOUR INTRODUCTION - Please provide about 15-30 seconds' worth of additional information in suggested language for the Main Stage emcee to use in introducing you and your speaking topic, in the next box below (between roughly 25 words at minimum up to roughly 100 words at maximum).  For example, you might include where you're from, what you do, maybe groups you are involved with, how you came to be involved, etc., and/or setup the background for your speech.

Clarifying, while most regular private individual speakers will be normally scheduled for the standard "5 minute" speaking timeslots, any well known representatives of popular orgs/groups/etc. will generally be allowed "10 minute" speeches if they so desire (and they will), and all celebrities, all 2020 candidates for elected offices, and any other actual VIP types may enjoy "15 minute" speeches as they so wish (and they will).  The regional Expo event team will be personally working ahead of time with each different speaker who registers for a timeslot on the Main Stage, and should circumstances warrant, some speakers may be contacted again with offers to consider speaking for a longer timeslot and/or speaking for multiple timeslots.

Regardless, each different speech should be practiced in timing to last either ~4:30 for a "5 minute" speech, ~9:30 for a "10 minute" speech, or ~14:30 for a "15 minute" speech.  Thank you for planning and practicing ahead.

If you qualify for either the 10 minute speaking timeslot or 15 minute speaking timeslot, by representing any well known group, business or other organization, or under eligible politician/celebrity/candidate/similar status, then simply say so in the next text box, otherwise please just leave it blank:

This is a "G-Rated" event for family issues, with many children expected in attendance.  Please... ALL speakers on our Main Stage agree to refrain from inclusion of, or reference to, any vulgarity, profanity, nudity, drugs, drinking, or any other material that is similarly objectionable to traditional society's public norms for minor children and family values.  While your speaking topic *might* happen to "brush upon" such issues *only* via brief, incidental, and non-descriptive manners, please just try to avoid them in the first place.  Thank you!
