FISD Speakers Bureau

FISD is proud to unveil a new speaker database where our members are invited to submit pitches and their bios for consideration. We are committed to expanding the diversity and expertise of our speakers and this new database is a great way to nominate yourself to be a part of FISD programs. Adding a speaker profile to our database is not a guarantee you’ll speak, but we will be reading each submission. If you need help logging in, please contact us. 

Send FISD your job openings for the FISD job board and member news for inclusion in the newsletter.
