Got Something To Say? | Speaker Proposal

MediaPost's events share insights, instructive case studies and best practices by and for marketers and media planners. Our editorial programmers welcome proposals in all of these categories that feature brand, and in some cases, agency executives. Proposals can offer specific speakers for an existing agenda item or offer new ideas. Contact Lisa Singer (lisa@mediapost.com) with your suggestions. We encourage vendors to recommend their clients with good stories to share, but vendor presentations or co-presentations are not allowed in MediaPost content. Vendors wishing to present at our events have a range of sponsor presentation and event participation options available outside of the editorial content. Please contact Jon Whitfield (jon@mediapost.com) for more information.
