SPEAKER RIDER
Requirements and guidelines for speaking engagements. Please review before submitting inquiries.
Code of Conduct
Events must have an explicitly-defined, enforced Code of Conduct linked publicly on the event website. If you need a starting point, BSides Las Vegas maintains a solid example.
Travel & Accommodations
My employer may cover expenses for events that align with our mission. Otherwise, travel and accommodations are coordinated on a per-event basis.
For significant time zone changes, I prefer arriving 1-2 days before my speaking slot.
Speaking Fees
- Community/Non-Profit: Generally no fee. Happy to support.
- Corporate/For-Profit: Negotiable based on event scale and keynote status.
- Alternative: Charitable donation to a speaker-chosen org (confirm before booking travel).
Technical Requirements
Two acceptable configurations. Please confirm setup at least 7 days before the event.
Session Types
Including Q&A. Flexible based on event schedule.
Open to presentation, panel, or workshop formats.
Recordings & Intellectual Property
I retain ownership of all presentation content and may deliver talks elsewhere.
Recording is permitted with advance notice, subject to the following:
- Recordings must be captioned
- Content cannot be paywalled without express written permission
- Please share final video for my promotional use
Written consent required before using my likeness, slides, images, or voice for purposes beyond event promotion.
Social Promotion
Happy to promote events on my channels before and after. Tag me and I'll engage.
Bio & Media Kit
Speaker bio, headshots, and promotional materials available on the Press Kit page.
Cancellation
I reserve the right to withdraw from an event for safety reasons. In such cases, I will offer to present remotely as an alternative when possible.
