VIC 2026 · Call for Speakers

We skip the
slide-deck lectures.

VIC 2026 is looking for solo consultants, boutique operators, and hands-on practitioners who build these frameworks every day — not theorists.

60-min Learning Rooms Intimate groups Practical execution only Nov 10–12, 2026
What we're looking for

Two types of speaking roles

Keynote Speaker
6 Keynote Slots
Plenary-stage talks that open or anchor a day. Big ideas grounded in real experience. You'll be addressing the full conference audience — VAs, clients, and operators together.
  • ~30 minute talk
  • Plenary audience (full summit)
  • 1 slot per day across 3 days
  • Must be willing to be recorded
Learning Room Mentor
18 Mentor Slots
Intimate 60-minute interactive sessions in one of three parallel rooms. Less lecture, more workshop. Attendees rotate between rooms — you run the same session multiple times across days if needed.
  • 60-minute interactive session
  • Small group per room
  • Pure practical execution focus
  • Can run same session across days
We're not looking for

High-level corporate lectures, theoretical slide decks, or brand awareness talks for consultancies. If you'd need 30 minutes to explain your credentials before getting to the useful part, this probably isn't the right fit. VIC 2026 audiences are practitioners — they'll spot filler immediately.
