Becoming a speaker at the annual Research Society Conference is well regarded, so we are always in the lucky position of having more speaker submissions that we have spots.
The best way to get your submission accepted is to offer as much detail as possible. We have made the submission portal more detailed this year for this purpose. We know it will take longer, but we are prompting you to show the committee your great idea in the best possible way.
Presentations that sound like they are likely to be a sales pitch for the product or service that you offer are unlikely to get up. We can't stress this enough: DON'T SELL. It sounds obvious, but it helps a lot if you have a thought-provoking point of view - and want to get it across. We have other opportunities where you can sponsor and demonstrate your products.
Please note that if you are carrying out research or have access to new data which you might be able to present for the first time, this is great for our industry. We also love great client shared case studies – If you have a joint client shared presentation we would love to have both of you on stage. Please note that you will need to have this data available by the first draft deadline of Fri 13th May 2022.
It is unlikely that more than 1 presentation will be chosen per company.

• To try to encourage timely delivery (as stated in the speaker contract) this year we will be accepting a few more presentations than can fit in the program.
• We have increased the amount of contact between speakers and the committee to help achieve our quality and timeline objectives.
• This means that if you are selected, and do not provide your documents on time, we may remove you from presenting at the conference and/or speakers who do not make the timeframes will not be eligible for any of the Conference Awards.
• This also applies to presentations that end up being a sales pitch, or are not of a high enough quality to be presented, as deemed by the Conference Committee.
I will be able to adhere to the due dates and timeframes of the conference
Distribution/Publishing Rights -
The Research Society has the right to distribute your submitted presentations, video, papers, speaker notes, your bio and your photo once submitted for the conference.
The program will be promoted nationally and internationally and your paper or speaker notes along with your presentation in pdf format will be published on our website for attendees (and all members after 12 months)
Video of your presentation may be used as well for further Conference promotion.
I understand the distribution and publishing rights.
I understand that it is expected that all potential contributors wishing to present in an authoritative way to their colleagues in research and insights will be members of the Research Society or an equivalent international association. Research Society membership of the speaker(s) will be a factor in the synopsis’ judging.
I understand the above - Members
While joint client presentations are particularly welcomed, the Conference Committee assumes that, in line with the Research Society's Code of Professional Behaviour, the author(s) will have obtained permission from clients or other third parties, to present information which requires such permission to be granted, and that the author will indemnify the Research Society, and ensure that the Society is not held liable for any claims from clients or other third parties incurred by the author’s failure to have obtained such permission to use information.
I understand the above - Clients
Authors who submit a synopsis acknowledge that the decision of the 2022 Conference Committee is final and that The Research Society cannot be held liable for any inconvenience resulting from the Committee’s decision.
The Conference Committee reserves the right to request changes to submitted papers and presentations and that any cost resulting from such changes are the responsibility of the contributor not the Society.
• The Conference Committee reserves the right to remove any presentations from the Conference Program that are deemed not of a high enough quality to be presented or a blatant sales pitch.
I understand the above - judging
By submitting my e-signature below, I am agreeing to all terms and conditions of the call for speakers terms and conditions.
