Become A Speaker

Speaking at Tech Differently is about sharing ideas with fellow techies who care about making the world even 1% better.

Two ways to speak at the October 2026 conference:

Speaker Accelerator

The heart of Tech Differently.


We meet you exactly where you are, whether you’ve spoken before or not. You just need curiosity and something you care about.

You’ll walk away with a reusable conference talk that tech audiences need to hear, and a clearer, more confident way of talking about your work.

Participants present their talk at the conference in October.

Pay-what-you-can spots available. We don’t want finances to be the reason you don’t apply and share your ideas with the world.

Applying is not a commitment. If you’re unsure, apply. We’ll have a conversation to see if it’s a good fit.

Conference Speaker

A small number of spots for speakers applying directly.


Priority is given to Accelerator participants. If spots remain, a few will be open to the public through a selection process based on talk fit, balance, and representation.

No matter how much speaking experience you have, if you’d like a guaranteed spot and would enjoy shaping your talk with support and community, the Speaker Accelerator may be a better fit.
