Speaking Slot Opportunities
Speaking opportunities accumulate based upon your role and level of support. Additional speaking slots are US$2,500 each.
E.g., an ACC Network sponsor that is also a Silver Level sponsor will receive up to 3 speaking slots total at the meeting (2 Network slots + 1 Silver slot = 3 speaking slots)
- Gold Level Sponsorship: up to 2 Speakers
- Silver Level Sponsorship: 1 Speaker
- Blue Level Sponsorship: 0 Speakers
- ACC Network Sponsorship: up to 2 Speakers
- Network sponsor speaking slots should be arranged through early collaboration with your Network. Discuss in January which ideas they plan to submit and agree upon those that, if selected by the Advisory Board, will have slots reserved for your participation.
Speaker Selection
- Panels may consist of a maximum of four (4) speakers total. Innovative format sessions have flexible speaker requirements. Please include this information in the "Facilitation Requirements" field on the submission form.
- We strongly recommend fewer speakers for 60- or 75- minute programs.
- One speaker should be assigned to serve as moderator for panel sessions.
- Approved in-house speakers will receive a complimentary meeting registration.
- In-house Counsel Ratio: In-house counsel should comprise the majority of speakers on every session, absent prior approval from ACC.
- Exceptions are granted for programs that recruit regulators, judges, academics, non-legal business leaders, and others that are neither sponsor nor in-house counsel.
- Approved non-in-house speakers will be issued a day pass for the day of their speaking engagement.
- Outside counsel and/or legal service providers may speak on panels only if their organization is a sponsor of the 2024 Annual Meeting.
- ACC reserves the right to decline speakers if they do not meet the criteria.
- Additional speaker guidelines will be provided following Program Selection.
