SPEAKING OPPORTUNITIES

Autotech Council meetings are generally an agenda packed with new companies and technology pitches from across the mobility ecosystem, or an agenda focused on one segment which may also include analysts, panelists, keynotes, and case studies specific to that segment.

Whether you are interested in pitching a technology to our members or sharing your expertise with our wider community, speakers are chosen for their relevance to our members and fit to an agenda based on their online speaker application. Agendas are generally filled 4 weeks before each meeting with priority going to members, member recommendations, and sponsors first.

• Innovation Reviews: Single-topic agendas include a keynote, a panel, up to 10 rapid fire pitches and demo tables.
• Startup Reviews: Multi-topic agendas of rapid-fire company pitches with interactive Q&A.
• Roundtables: single topic, interactive discussions led by industry experts.

Tips for a successful speaker application:
Autotech Council members are scouting for technologies across automotive, mobilty, transportation, manufacturing, and relevant external segments like communications, cybersecurity, energy, and more. Their sweet spot is pilot-ready technology, but we also have CVCs in the room who prefer supporting earlier stage startups and some T1s who prefer fully tested and packaged product. For best results, craft your speaker application using your knowledge of the mobility market and what our members (list here) need to stay ahead in the industry.

What if I wasn't selected?
Startups who apply to pitch our members will be considered for future meetings as well, so no need to reapply unless your product or technology has changed, or you are catering a 2nd application to a specific meeting topic. 

Companies who weren't chosen for an agenda, but still want to participate, may be able to rent a demo or meeting table depending on the meeting. More information on demo opportunities here.
