ACCP Speaking Information and RFP Process
Are you a purpose-driven, social impact professional with knowledge to share with CSR and ESG professionals? We’d love to hear more about you and your expertise.
Please read this page thoroughly and complete the form to submit your RFP. ACCP evaluates general RFPs on a rolling basis for Webcasts, Member Group meetings, Summits, and other ACCP Programs. If you’re interested in speaking at ACCP’s Annual Conference, we are currently accepting RFPs through May 5.
ACCP is always on the lookout for inspiring speakers that will share practical and innovative insights to advance the corporate social impact field. Speakers with first-hand CSR, ESG & DEIB, and direct knowledge of the field or a non-practitioner with a corporate co-presenter are preferred. ACCP is committed to creating a more diverse, inclusive, and equitable corporate citizenship sector and desires for participants of all backgrounds and experiences to see themselves represented and included in our work. Thus, we actively encourage and source diverse presenters to participate in the RFP process. Interested speakers may submit more than one proposal for consideration.
