Speaker and Artist Proposals
Submissions are now closed.
We invite you to join the 2026 Intermountain Sustainability Summit by submitting a proposal focused on this year’s theme: Building Resilience. Resilience grows through connection, collaboration, and action. If your work helps others adapt, thrive, and create lasting change, we encourage you to share your insights. Join us in shaping a future that’s strong, connected, and ready for what lies ahead.
Whether you work in business, community, education, municipal, or policy sectors, share how your organization is advancing clean energy transitions, designing adaptable infrastructure, restoring ecosystems, ensuring fair access to resources, fostering strong cross-sector partnerships, involving community-based action or other innovative work.
Selected presenters receive complimentary registration for the main event day on Thursday, March 19, and related sessions.
Suggest a Speaker or Topic
Many of our speakers come from suggestions made by the ISS community.
If you have a great idea for a speaker or a topic, share your ideas with us.
Whether you know of a great keynote, session speaker, or workshop leader, your ideas can help inform the ISS.
Choose a Presentation Format
Presentations come in several formats and speakers/presenters may host more than one type:
- 50-Minute sessions: standard presentations, moderated panel discussions, or networking sessions
- Workshops: Half-day or full-day options
- Artists/Performers: Give us a proposal, we will work with you
Encouraging Participant Engagement
The ISS is a dynamic and interactive event. We encourage proposals that include innovative formats, which engage attendees on multiple levels, including interactions with fellow participants, hands-on activities and shared experiences, to name a few.
We encourage presenters to engage participants, beyond Q & A, with the addition of artistic or outside-of-the-box elements.
