Speaker Proposals

If you are interested in speaking at one of the CUNA Councils' events, we invite you to submit your proposal. Participation with the CUNA Councils can provide you with multiple benefits – if you are selected as a speaker at any one of the Council conferences, your name and company would be exposed to hundreds, even thousands of members.

Speaking opportunities include:

  • Preconference workshops are usually 3 hours in length and should include discussion, exercises and Q&A. We also like these workshops to be as interactive as possible.
  • Conference general sessions are 60 – 75 minutes in length and usually cover leadership-type topics.
  • Conference breakout sessions are 75 minutes in length and usually cover more of an over view of the topic. Q&As should also be included.
  • Webinars vary in length but are typically 90 minutes and cover a multitude of topics.
