Have you been paid to speak at a conference?
There is still an ongoing discussion about conferences that let their speakers pay to have the stage. This matters in particular for speakers from marginalized communities who have little money to pay but great lessons to share for perspectives we have not yet heard.
At the moment, AgileTD USA is looking for experienced and new speakers for their upcoming conference in May 2023 in Chicago, IL. We cordially welcome speakers from all experience levels. Our aim is to always offer a diverse and inclusive conference for all.
We know your value and your worth, therefore AgileTDUSA is pro #NoPayToSpeak. We are aware that when you submit for a conference, you also submit your

Time to prepare
Professionalism
Excellence
Commitment
Integrity
