2025 Call For Speakers

Be A Thought Leader in the Waste Industry

Planning for the 2025 Conference Programming across WasteExpo has begun. We’re officially gearing up for May 5-8, 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.

We’re looking for new and seasoned speakers to lead engaging educational sessions on the latest trends and emerging topics within our industry.

Speaking at WasteExpo and its co-located events positions you as a subject matter expert in your field. Attendees expect high-quality, applicable content. Your participation, as representative extension of the WasteExpo brand, must therefore adhere to and meet quality standards.

Submit Proposal

All Submissions are due by September 27, 2024

Category and Track Selection Criteria

Waste Management and Recycling

Business Insights & Policy - content that focuses on the business and policy aspects of our industry.

Operations, Fleet & Safety - content that discusses the core topics of our industry – operations, fleet management and safety.

Recycling & Landfill - content that focuses on recycling, MRFs, markets, landfill tech, processes, emissions, etc.

Technology & Innovation - all things tech and tech-driven, AI, automation, apps, etc. 

Food Recovery Forum

Any content on food waste prevention, reduction, and recovery. This includes business models, technologies, and ‘apps’ to improve food waste reduction throughout the supply chain. 

Organics Recycling

Any content on Organics Recycling, including composting, AD, and other conversion technologies, collection, diversion, processing, business models, infrastructure development, and policies.

Sustainability Talks

Specific content that highlights all things sustainable and educates those responsible for overseeing sustainability. This track often crosses over other tracks and that is acceptable. If you intentionally want to highlight sustainability, select this track.

Healthcare Waste Conference

Co-located event. Covers any content considered healthcare waste related.  Submissions processed separately.  

Submit HCWC Proposal

As many topics can fall into multiple tracks, WasteExpo reserves the right to place each accepted proposal in a final, assigned track.

Speaker Criteria and Standards

  • Real-world, applicable content sessions that include customer participation will be given preference in the selection process
  • If you are planning to submit a case study presentation, customers are required, and you should include their names as presenters during the submission process.
  • Submissions will be evaluated on quality and appropriateness of subject matter and should include the key points of "what attendees will learn."
  • If selected, you are committing to meeting speaker deadlines for process deliverables. 
  • If selected, you will adhere to our strict “No Sales Pitch” policy; your expertise in your topic defines you.
  • If you do not adhere to the No-Sales-Pitch policy, you will not be invited back to speak at future WasteExpo events. 

All sessions are meant to be purely educational, and though they may include case studies and real-life examples using specific tools or products, it should not be a marketing tool to promote one particular product over another.

Speaker Benefits

  • Complimentary registration to attend the entire conference & exhibition.

  • Recognition among your colleagues and visibility on promotional materials.

  • Inclusion of your presentation in the post conference on-demand sessions and access to complimentary access to all on-demand sessions.
