Polka Dot Powerhouse Lancaster Chapter - Speaker Application

Thank you for your interest in speaking at the Lancaster Chapter of Polka Dot Powerhouse. Our monthly meetings with speakers are held in person the 2nd Thursday (lunch) and the 4th Wednesday (lunch and dinner). This application will assist us in speaker selections, and applying does not guarantee you will be selected as a speaker. While all applications will be considered, we will prioritize applications from active, engaged members of the Lancaster Chapter who have attended a minimum of 6 connection meetings.


Guidelines: The speaking engagement is a 20-25 minute time slot, including Q&A, and we ask that speakers keep their presentation professional, informative, and relatable to anyone whether they are business owners or not. We ask that your speech not be “SALESY" and self-promoting of your business during the presentation, but we support your last slide sharing your business and contact info. Feel free to distribute a handout that relates to your presentation and sharing other information on the marketing table. Speakers are asked to pay for their own lunches and dinner.
