2026 Education & Events Speaker Application - AZ Impact for Good

2026 Education & Events Speaker Application

AZ Impact for Good produces educational events (workshops and webinars, among other learning opportunities) in partnership with other organizations and individuals. Some of these partners are nonprofit organizations or community groups, others are companies or consultants who seek to share information about their areas of expertise, products, and services through educational events.*

We strive to provide high-quality content delivered by experienced speakers, trainers and content experts that fit into one or more of these 8 tracks:

Advocacy
Board Governance
Executive Training
Programs/Volunteers
Development/Fundraising
Marketing
HR/Company Culture Practices
Finance/Operations

To see our current event calendar, click here.

Our goal is to provide resources to our members and the nonprofit/philanthropic sector no matter what level of experience they may have - beginner, intermediate, or advanced. We give preference to topics that are applicable to audiences from varying organizational sizes and budgets.

We accept submissions throughout the year, however we do have specific times of the year where we request applications for signature events like our conference and summit. We strive to promptly respond to individuals year-round, aiming to communicate within an average of 30 days.

If you would like to submit more than one topic, please complete multiple forms.

We judge these applications based on the following criteria:

Is this proposed topic interesting to the entire nonprofit sector in a significant way?
Is the speaker qualified to lead a training on this topic? (experience, presented before, has solid key takeaways for the audience, etc.)
Does this speaker and topic reflect the values and perspectives of a broad diversity of community members, and particularly those community members who have been historically underrepresented or marginalized?

All speakers must read and consider our Guide on Engaging and Accessible Presentations.

Should you have any questions, please contact events@azimpactforgood.org.

^{*Speakers who are active partner members of AZIFG are given priority consideration in the review and scheduling process.}^{If you are not a member but would like to join, please visit Membership Application - AZ Impact For Good}
