Call for Speakers

Please complete all required fields in the submission form, as this will help the UAE IAA Speaker Committee in the selection process. Upon submission, you will receive an automatic confirmation. If you need assistance, please contact speakers@uaeiaa.org.

Proposals will be assessed based on the following:

• Proven speaking experience – We encourage you to include past speaker evaluations, references, or relevant experience.
• Current and relevant content – Presentations should include up-to-date data, case studies, and industry best practices.
• Practical and actionable insights – Sessions should provide attendees with real-world strategies, tools, and takeaways for implementation in their practice.
• Innovative approaches – Share leading practices, emerging trends, and unique insights relevant to internal audit, risk management, fraud prevention, and governance.
• Engagement and interactivity – Sessions that include Q&A, polling, case studies, and audience participation are highly encouraged.
• No sales pitches – Proposals should focus on knowledge sharing rather than promoting specific products or services.
• Hybrid relevance – Priority is given to presentations that cater to a diverse, international audience and are suitable for both in-person and virtual formats.

• Submissions must align with the session design. A solo presentation may not be changed to include a co-presenter after submission.
• Additional weight may be given to new speakers who have not presented at a UAE IAA event in the same calendar year.
• Speaker Benefits: The primary speaker will receive a complimentary full registration for the event.
• Selected speakers must participate in a Speaker Orientation call and adhere to the defined submission timelines.
• Presentation materials, including PowerPoint decks, must be submitted 30 days prior to the event and must follow the UAE IAA branded template.
• Missing deadlines for presentation submission may result in disqualification from future UAE IAA speaking opportunities.
