SPEAKERS FORM

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING NOTES

1. THE TITLE OF THE TALK

We are frequently asked what makes a good presentation title. And most of the time we give the following answer: We recommend any title that catches the attention and curioristy of your audience. Of course, you should not lose sight of your core message but, apart from that, you can either be analytical, show humor or even provoke a little. We also recommend you to follow the latest style trends, leading media publications, or clickbait strategies (because good clickbait actually works). You can find some inspiration, for example, at BuzzFeed or TEDx Talks.

2. YOUR SPEAKER PHOTO

We will use your photo for our event promotion, website and other visuals. Therefore we need a picture in HD quality with at least 1920x1080 pixels. The photo needs to only have you in it and be in focus – passport photos, selfies, or scanned images can only be used in a limited way or not at all!

3. INFORMATION FOR TALKS HELD BY 2+ SPEAKERS

Are you giving your presentation with two or three people? In this case we kindly ask you to submit the form several times with the information about the respective speakers.

4. DO YOU ALLOW US TO SHARE YOUR TALK IN OUR MEDIA LIBRARY?

We are currently building a media library at proudr.com in which we publish past STICKS & STONES talks and make them accessible for our LGBTIQ+ communities (that is, Proudr, RAHM, Unicorns in Tech, and Alice). For this purpose, we record the live talks at our digital events. We would also like to publish your presentation in our media library and promote it via our social media channels and newsletters. Do you allow us to share your talk with our communities? For this, we would like to ask you to agree to the following statement (see paragraph 3 in the speaker form):


"I agree that the photos and videos, as mentioned above, may be taken and used for the above-mentioned purposes. I do not derive any rights (e.g. remuneration) from the consent to publication. It is not allowed to use these recordings for other purposes than those described or to hand them over to third parties."


You give your consent to: UHLALA Group, Wicherstr. 9a, 10439 Berlin.

5. INFORMATION FOR PANELISTS

Do you participate in our discussion panels? In this case, please hand in your speaker information via our form and skip the part "talk details." – Thank you.

6. REMUNERATION

As a small and free event, our speaker program is set up on a volunteer basis. That is why we cannot offer a speakers fee. For those participating in SXS Berlin at Verti Music Hall, catering will be provided.

STICKS & STONES is a project by UHLALA Group. Since 2009, we have been supporting, promoting and connecting LGBTIQ+ people in their careers and bringing them together with companies and organisations that appreciate their LGBTIQ+ employees.
