How to Amplify Your Voice and Impact at the APVA Week

Ride the wave, Share your story and voice, invite your network, connect with APVA’s community, and reach an international audience of over 50+ countries

Your Guide to Applying: Understanding Your Role

- If you’re proposing a (panel/discussant interview/masterclass/webinar), we recommend a unified pitch from one representative, confirming all speakers’ agreement and commitment to the session’s concept and APVA’s terms. If you're still assembling your dream team, share your potential lineup or transform your concept.

- Solo/Duo pitchers should focus on a subject area rather than proposing an entire panel subject.

- In all, session leaders have full autonomy and are responsible for their concept and delivery, while the APVA team provides toolkits, resources, and a platform for engagement, and amplified visibility.
