How to speak at Retail Fest AUS

It runs a Become a Speaker form on its own site.

That makes it one of the more open doors on this list, though a form isn't a booking. Keep it short. Say what the session covers and who it's for, and link to a video of you on stage.

Most programs are set months ahead, so get in touch well before the next edition rather than a few weeks out.
