5. I am looking for a subject matter expert in a specific area, what information can I give you that will help you identify someone?
Please be as detailed as you can on the desired topic(s) you would like a speaker to address. Think about the answer to the question: when your audience walks away from this event, in what area(s) do want them to have more knowledge?

In most cases, NSA is responsible for travel expenses. If you are considering covering travel expenses for our speaker, please contact our team.

Yes. Speakers cannot participate in events for the purpose of fundraising, promotions, or any type of endorsement.
10. How do I coordinate travel and other logistical arrangements for the speaker?
We will connect you with the speaker once confirmed and you may coordinate those arrangements at that time.
11. Can I record video/audio or take photos of the speaker during their presentation?
Yes, provided the speaker also consents. However, we ask for a copy of the video/audio recording and/or any photos taken.
