EntreFEST 2020 Speaker Nominations
EntreFEST is one of the Midwest's leading entrepreneurship and innovation conferences.  

The 2020 event will be held June 4-5, 2020, in venues around the core districts of Cedar Rapids. We anticipate 500+ attendees including startup founders, corporate innovators, students, innovation ecosystem builders, and an entirely new track of attendees. In 2019, EntreFEST launched its' first Tech Track, focused on tools and systems for developers which we are bringing back for 2020.

EntreFEST organizers are seeking experts in a variety of fields and disciplines to deliver dynamic keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and workshops that address the needs of our primary audiences and key industries:

1. Small business owners
2. High-growth startup founders and their teams
3. Executives and employees leading innovation inside existing organizations
4. Economic and community development professionals and grassroots startup community organizers focused on building a stronger entrepreneurial ecosystem in their area
5. Software developers, designers, and IT professionals who provide solutions through conversations about emerging technologies, tools and best practices of iteration and effectiveness.

We are seeking nominations of speakers to address topics of innovation in industries including agriculture, design (all types), nonprofits, health, education, advanced manufacturing, aging, financial technology (FinTech), logistics, and distribution.

Due to the high volume of submissions we receive, we cannot provide individual feedback on submissions after the initial Monday, October 21, 2019 deadline.

Chosen speakers will be notified by the January 17, 2020. All selected speakers will receive a complimentary full-conference pass and consultations with a speaking coach in preparation for their EntreFEST session. EntreFEST does not typically compensate speakers selected through this public nomination process.
