I was reading a guest blog post by Cathy Brooks (Gauntlet Toss or Clarion Call: Women, it’s time to step up) on Brian Solis’ PR2.0 blog, and it got me thinking about the speakers at Affiliate Summit.
This post was sort of a challenge for more women to submit speaker proposals to conferences.
In reviewing the proposals we received for Affiliate Summit East 2009, 21% of the proposals were submitted by women. The percentage of women speakers at ASE09 was a little higher than the percent of proposals by women.
The way speakers are chosen for Affiliate Summit is that the proposals are voted on by the Affiliate Summit Advisory Board. The proposals that get the most positive votes are selected for the conference.
Anyhow, speaking proposals for Affiliate Summit West 2010, taking place January 17-19, 2010 in Las Vegas, are now being accepted.
The submission deadline is October 2, 2009.
Accepted speakers will be notified no later than October 16, 2009. Due to the volume of submissions, we will not notify applicants if they have not been accepted. Therefore, if you have not been contacted by October 16, 2009, your proposal was not accepted.

I don’t know who this is, since you chose to post anonymously, but I respond to every email I receive.
If your wife is interested in speaking, the process to make a proposal is spelled out at http://www.affiliatesummit.com/10w-speakers/.
Glad to see this, When I ask you about my wife speaking, Shawn, you didn’t even respond. Glad to see you are trying to be different.
I like being on panels instead of a whole hour of just me
, but I did like the Ask the Experts session I did at ASE09. Will try to come up with a good topic to propose.
You can include others in a proposal for a panel.
Go women! Can we nominate others for speaking spots?
