Call for speakers

We're looking for speakers to inform and inspire industry peers from around the globe. Will you answer the call?

The call for speakers is open through April 17, 2024.

Share your story

Join us as a speaker at Dimensions and lead a learning session on how technology is transforming the way you work. Use the guidelines below to create a successful proposal and become part of the agenda this November in Las Vegas.

What, who and why?

The first steps in planning your presentation are determining a topic and defining your audience.

The topic you choose for your presentation should be relatable, interesting and beneficial to Dimensions and 3D Basecamp attendees. At the end of your presentation, your audience should walk away with new, ready-to-engage ideas for taking their work to the next level.

What is your topic?

Apply your personal story, sharing how a challenge affected you and how you worked to solve it. While it's valuable to discuss any technology you used, stressing the effect of the technology makes for a more compelling session.

Who is your audience?

Dimensions and 3D Basecamp attendees represent a wide range of experience and skill levels from industries around the world. Rather than trying to please everyone (not possible), focus your proposal on empowering the right user type to take their learning to the next level.

Why should they attend?
