Become a Speaker with ATD Sacramento

Do you have a message that moves people, a practice that elevates performance, and want to share it with a community of curious, purpose-driven L&D professionals?
We’re looking for presenters who spark insight, invite dialogue, and leave our members energized to try something new.


If you’re passionate about growing people and possibilities, we’d love to amplify your voice and your work.

What we're looking for:

  • Sessions that blend inspiration with practical, ready-to-use tool.
  • Thoughtful engagement—stories, interaction, and space for reflection.
  • Professional polish: prepared, paced, and designed for impact.
  • Topics that are aligned with the TD Capability Model and address current industry trends.
  • Sessions designed for Learning & Development Leaders with a varying range of experience. 

Success Principles for ATD Sacramento Speakers

We deeply value our volunteer speakers and are honored to consider you for an upcoming ATD Sacramento program. Our events are built to spark insight and practical action, so we ask presenters to teach first, sell last (please keep promotional content to a minimum during the session). We recognize that your time is valuable and our team will partner closely with you to spotlight your expertise before and after the event (website, email, and social channels) so that you may gain meaningful visibility and connections through your experience as a speaker.

Speaker Selection Process

We aim to make the path from proposal to program clear, collaborative, and efficient. Once you submit a Speaker Proposal Form, our chapter leaders will review your proposal and select presentations that are most relevant, current and aligned with our chapter initiatives and bring strategic value to our members. 

Upon selection, our chapter leaders will partner with you on marketing and event logistics.  


You can fill out the form on this page, or you can click here to open the Speaker Proposal Form in a new window.
