Questions.
What kinds of sessions can I propose?
C-Tribe curates talks, workshops, panels and masterclasses that go deep on specific topics. Give us a session title and tell us which vertical it fits.
I have never spoken at an event. Can I still apply?
Yes. The form asks for links to recent speaking engagements, but that question is optional.
I want to talk about tech. Is this the right form?
You can use this form and pick Tech as your category. C-Tribe x Tech also has its own speaker application with topic tracks such as AI, cybersecurity and finance. See ctribefestival.com/join/tech-speakers.
Why do you ask how many people would buy a ticket to see me?
We ask everyone we might feature in the lineup. It gives our programming team an early sense of each speaker's audience. A best guess is fine.
When will I hear back?
You get an email receipt when you submit. We will contact you by email about our decision. For questions, write to hello@ctribefestival.com.
