Questions.
Which topics are you looking for?
The form lists eight tracks: Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, BioTech Breakthroughs, Blockchain Terrain, Cyber Secure, Construction of Tomorrow, Sustainable Shift, Financial Frontier and Q(uantum)-Revolution.
Why does the form ask what diversity means to me?
C-Tribe's mission is to celebrate diversity and help more innovative and creative people achieve their dreams. We want to understand how you connect with that. There is no right answer.
My topic is not strictly tech. Where should I apply?
Use the general speaker application at ctribefestival.com/join/speakers. It covers all six verticals: tech, fashion, gaming, music, culture and film.
Do I need past speaking experience?
No. Links to recent talks help us, and video or audio is best, but you can leave that question blank.
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.
