Speaking options include 30 and 45-minute Session Stage presentations, Keynote Speeches, and Fireside Chats.

What We Are Looking For & Suggested Topics
IFE is looking for cutting-edge content and topics that solve today’s biggest challenges in the fastener industry. Proposals are welcome from both well-versed industry experts as well as professionals just beginning to transition to leadership roles. IFE strives to build a diverse group of speakers, reflecting the broad array of industry insights available. Proposals should address any of the following areas:
| Applications | Regulations, Trades and Tariff Policies |
| Business Operations | Sales and Marketing |
| Health and Safety | E-Commerce/Digital Retailing |
| Environment and Sustainability | Sourcing |
| Inventory Control and Management | Supply Chain |
| Production | Distribution |
| People and Leadership | Tooling and Machinery |
| Global Challenges and Opportunities (Inflation, Economic Trends, Resilience) | Technology |
All topics must be strictly educational and provide actionable ideas. Promotional content related to an individual’s product, company, and/or services violates the conference’s “no-pitch” policy.
If selected as an IFE 2024 speaker, you will receive (1) complimentary badge that allows for access to the Welcome Reception and Expo Hall, industry exposure through event marketing support including your name published on promotional material, website, and program, and recognition as a leader in the fastener industry.
Please note that this speaking engagement is a non-paid event. Speakers will not be paid an honorarium or reimbursed for expenses.
