How do I speak at an event with support from Makers Empire?
Find a suitable conference to speak at — we have some suggestions below — and fill in the speaker/presenter request form below.
What kind of support can I apply for?
You can apply for funds towards travel costs, swag for attendees, Makers Empire brochures etc and so on. Just tick the support that you’d like on the speaking request form. Please note that we tend to support ambassadors on a partnership basis i.e. we do not generally cover full attendance costs.
Do I have to ‘sell’ Makers Empire in my talk/presentation?
No. That’s our job. Your role is to present the work you’re doing in the classroom using Makers Empire so that your awesome methods, practices and lesson learned might inspire other teachers. We encourage you to answer any questions from teaching colleagues in an open and frank way.
What am I expected to do?
First, you have to secure your speaking/presenting slot to qualify for possible support. We can help with your proposal if you need assistance.
Once confirmed as a speaker/presenter, you’ll work with the organisers as usual.
On the day of the event, you simply deliver your event as scheduled. Please try to stick around after the event to answer questions from teaching colleagues. We’ll try to have a Makers Empire staff member at the event with you to answer any questions people might have, collect email addresses and generally support your presentation.
What if someone asks me questions about Makers Empire that I can’t answer?
No problem. You can give them our details or offer to make a note of their details so one of us can follow up with them post-event.
Will I have some kind of special offer for attendees?
Yes! We will always have a special offer for attendees that will be communicated to attendees during and after the event. We will also have some kind of promotion or giveaway on the day of the conference.
You can apply to present at any conference but here’s a list of some well known education conferences below.
