Bay Area Connect Conference – Speaker Application

Friday, October 23, 2026 | San Mateo, California

Application Deadline: June 30, 2026

Due to high demand and limited speaking slots, we’ve transitioned from a first-come, first-served model to a curated application process. This allows us to thoughtfully design a program that delivers the most value through a diverse range of topics and speakers.

Please note:

Previous speakers are encouraged to apply, provided they have not spoken at both of the last two conferences.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a speaking slot.
All topics will be carefully reviewed in relation to other applicants to ensure a cohesive event experience.
The review process will take approximately 30 days after the application deadline, and all applicants will be notified of their status.
If selected, the speaking opportunity offered will depend on both your preference and what the organizers believes will create the strongest overall program.
All Main Stage and Spotlight speakers will have one 6' table at the Business Expo.
Panelists may purchase an exhibitor table at a discounted rate (see below).
