It\u2019s official: Litmus Live 2019<\/a> is coming to London, Boston, and San Francisco.<\/p>\n

We pride ourselves on creating a community-driven conference. All three events are attended by some of the most passionate email geeks in the world. Perhaps more importantly, the speakers in all three cities are pulled from the community, too. The folks you see on stage are the same people who spend their working lives in the email weeds. They are the ones thinking through campaigns, strategizing, writing, designing, developing, and analyzing emails every day of the week. We\u2019re looking for people like you!<\/p>\n

Want to share your passion for email on the Litmus Live stage? Submit your proposal for speaking at Litmus Live 2019<\/a> today.<\/p>\n

Who should submit?<\/h2>\n

Throwing your hat into the ring to speak at a conference can be challenging. But\u2014as we\u2019ve heard from our past speakers\u2014it\u2019s also incredibly rewarding.<\/p>\n

\nLast year, I attended Litmus Live as a speaker and got to experience a whole new side of the event. As a first-time (slightly nervous!) speaker, I was blown away by the support and encouragement of both the staff and the attendees. I was able to connect with people on a deeper level and truly enjoyed sharing my knowledge with the community. Overall, the experience was inspiring, educational, and empowering.<\/p>\n

– Melanie Kinney, past speaker<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The main things we look for in speakers are enthusiasm<\/strong> and a passion for helping subscribers<\/strong>. We want people who truly care about improving email up on stage: people that take pride in their email programs, aren\u2019t afraid of tackling interesting and challenging problems, and have learned something along their email journey they feel everyone should know.<\/p>\n

Beyond that, we don\u2019t care what your title is, which industry you work in, or whether or not you have past speaking experience. We\u2019re here to help you to put together the perfect talk. If you\u2019re a first-time speaker, we\u2019ll give you all the support you need to feel comfortable taking the stage. So your enthusiasm for email and your topic are paramount.<\/p>\n

If any of the above sounds like you, we hope to see your proposal soon. Not sure where to start when putting your session proposal together? Check out our post on crafting the perfect proposal<\/a> for tips on getting our attention and providing value for attendees.<\/p>\n

Topics we\u2019d love to see<\/h2>\n

Litmus Live runs the gamut of email topics. Although we have perennial favorites like responsive design, interactivity, and measuring campaigns, we pay attention to trends and interesting challenges and opportunities in the industry and incorporate those into the agenda. While we still love (and look forward to) seeing some of those favorite topics in the submissions, here are some of the topics we think attendees would like to learn about in 2019.<\/p>\n
