Now accepting speaker nominations for the 2021 3% Conference
It truly takes a village to plan the 3% Conference. Know someone who would make an amazing speaker for our event? We’d love the referral. Please get your amazing nominations in by Friday, May 28, 2021 so our team has enough time to review.
Selected speakers will be notified by July 1, 2021.
POVs we welcome:
- Folks who haven’t spoken at a 3% event before - We like to spread the opportunity and visibility around.
- Friends of 3% - We prioritize speakers who are familiar with our mission and community.
- Non cis women - We like to balance the gender POVs we feature.
- People of color - We’re committed to representation. At least 50% of our speakers will be POC.
Health and safety considerations for speakers. Our 3% Planning Team is taking every precaution to ensure the safety and wellbeing of everyone who attends our event virtually as well as in person.
Local and remote speaking opportunities. Our hybrid event style provides a lot of opportunity for speakers who are available to travel, but also those who choose not to. We are currently considering speakers for:
- Pre-recorded (remote) sessions
- Live, interactive remote workshops
- Live sessions recorded in-studio in Atlanta
Prioritizing local speakers for in-person sessions. As we are committed to our community’s health and wellbeing, we will be prioritizing Atlanta-based speakers for our in-person sessions. We recognize that there is a wealth of talent based in Atlanta and are excited to feature local thought leaders, futurists, and disruptors on our physical stage.
Following national CDC guidelines for gatherings. In addition, we will follow all national CDC guidelines for hosting in-person gatherings. We commit to making adjustments to our plans as needed and will publish official Covid-19 safety plans prior to the event.
Thank you for taking the time to submit a thoughtful nomination. This portal will close on Friday, May 28, 2021. The Agenda Committee will carefully review every submission and all applicants contacted by Thursday, July 1, 2021.
