  Review the ALFN Speaker Selection Policy prior to completing this form (copy and paste the following link into your browser) - https://www.alfn.org/Files/ALFN%20Speaker%20Selection%20Policy.pdf.
This form explains who is eligible to speak at ALFN events, and how speakers are selected.

ALFN Members, Servicers and GSE's may complete this speaker form at any point during the year; however deadlines apply before each major ALFN event so please keep in mind your availability as substitutions from your organization will not be allowed. Submissions must be completed by each event's deadline in order to be considered as a speaker for each event. ALFN Members must be current on all membership dues and fees to be considered.

We are looking to select individuals who are excellent public speakers, engaging and interactive with their presentations, entertaining and educational, and who are recognized experts in their field. Submitting your interest to be a speaker in no way guarantees selection and only those individuals selected as speakers will be notified. Please note that not every candidate will be selected and you may be offered speaking opportunities at various ALFN events. If you are selected as a speaker, you will be notified no less than 60 days prior to the scheduled event. If you are not selected to speak at an event, no notification will be given.

If you intend on using internal corporate information in your presentation that you do not allow to be distributed to attendees of the event, or included in any archived version, then please inform the ALFN's CEO of what information should not be shared that is part of your presentation, of which is considered internal corporate information.
