Guidelines
Speakers will be mindful of the fact that retailers attend the PEI education sessions to learn.
This means that suppliers may not use any PEI education platform to pitch their products or companies, and will be asked to use PEI-branded PowerPoint templates where applicable.
Process
Once submitted, you will receive an automated email confirmation of your submission. Due to the volume of submissions we receive, preference for speaking goes to existing PEI members. All PEI Convention session topics are determined based on the needs of the industry as identified by the PEI Education & Convention Committee. If a topic brought forth by our Committee matches your submission, we may contact you for further exploration of your participation as a speaker.
