How does Automotive News select speakers?
All of our speakers are selected and vetted by our award-winning editorial team. The best speakers have unique insights, experience and points of view that are essential to those around the globe involved in automotive or auto-adjacent businesses. As part of our commitment to providing our audience with insightful and impartial news and information, we do not accept speakers who are pitching or selling a product or service.

Can I suggest myself as a speaker?
Yes.

Can I speak at an Automotive News event by becoming a sponsor?
No. Sponsorship has many benefits, but a guaranteed speaking slot is not one of them.

Do speakers get paid?
Automotive News does not compensate speakers. Most speakers stay for the whole conference, soaking up the talks and connecting with other attendees. Additional benefits of speaking at an Automotive News event included additional complimentary registrations for guests (traditionally 2), a video copy of your presentation and professional photos showcasing your participation in the event.
