Want to speak at CopyCon?
Great! We’re always looking for fresh voices to bring to the CopyCon stage. We offer all speakers a standard fee, as well as an opportunity to rehearse your talk before CopyCon takes place.
For starters, the CopyCon audience is a diverse bunch of people. It’s everyone from total noobs fresh out of the marketing creche, to wizened word wizards, as well as the entire spectrum between those extremes.
While most of our attendees are employed as a copywriter of some sort (content designer, UX writer, creative copywriter, content writer etc), we also get plenty of agency writers and independents (freelancers and contractors).
We’re unlikely to schedule talks that are deeply focused on the mechanics of being a professional, unless they have a broad appeal.
For example, a talk about presenting skills could work. A talk about freelancing would not.
Our Audience Loves…
- Practical ideas that they can put to work.
- Inspiring stories that encourage us all to do better work.
- Insights gleaned through hard graft at the linguistic coal face.
- Controversial, unusual or fresh perspectives.
- Humour, irreverence and enthusiasm.

Your application to speak becomes a part of our speaker directory. We turn to this directory when it’s time to plan a conference, and also when we need to find replacements for any last-minute line-up changes.
