Be a part of the GSMCON camaraderie

GSMCON is known not only for its high-caliber sessions and expertise of its speakers, but also for its one-of-a-kind camaraderie that lasts long after the event ends. 

Speakers help create these crucial connections — both in your session and out. During your session, you’ll present your content, including a Q&A portion, to your peers both in-person and to those watching live online. You’ll also have opportunities to genuinely connect with peers from across the U.S. at the Welcome Reception, during sessions, keynotes, at the expo area and even during after hours.

For the first time, we’re planning a special hybrid event both in-person in Dallas, Texas and online, making the conference even more accessible to the whole community. We’re expecting hundreds of attendees, both in person and online, meaning hundreds of potential connections to your socialgov support system.

Speaker perks

While we know you’re planning your proposal to impart your knowledge on your peers, as an approved speaker, you also get these additional perks:

• Complimentary in-person registration at the All Access ticket level
• Recognition on our website
• Acknowledgement in event promotion materials

If you already have a paid early-bird registration and are approved to host a breakout session, your registration fee will be refunded. Speakers will be announced before early-bird registration closes.
