Speaking Engagement Request FAQ's

|

  • The Speaking Engagement Request (SER) is the process by which PMI’s internal stakeholders may be considered for speaking engagements at chapter, regional, and external events.

  • The SER may be used to request as event speakers:

    • PMI (Project Management Institute) Board Members
    • Executive Leadership Team (ELT)
    • Managing Directors
    • Product Owners

  • The SER includes requests for in-person or virtual events, as well as podcasts, video interviews, and other content platforms.

  • In cases where the requested speaker is not listed, users may select the Other option and list the requested speaker name. A member of the global event team will follow up with any additional questions.

  • Speaker selection and recommendation is based on:

    • If the event provides an outreach opportunity consistent with PMI’s strategic plan
    • If the request was received at least 4 weeks from the desired event date
    • Availability of the speaker

  • All Speaking Engagement Requests will be processed with an answer provided within 10 business days.

  • Multiple event requests may be submitted, but a separate SER form must be completed for each individual event.

  • Multiple speakers requested for a single event must be included on a single event request form. One form per event.
