We're seeking practical, honest talks from practitioners doing the work. SEO Title: Speak at Prompt Victoria AI Conference SEO Description: Submit your speaker proposal for Prompt Victoria 2026 — Vancouver Island's AI conference. We're seeking practical, honest talks from practitioners doing the work. Published: 2026-04-23, updated 2026-07-14 Share What’s Actually Working Prompt Victoria is built on practical, honest talks from the people doing the work. If you’ve moved from disruption to direction and have something useful to share, we’d like to hear from you. SPEAKER SUBMISSIONS NOW CLOSED FOR 2026. Talks That Leave People Better Equipped Every session at Prompt Victoria is selected to deliver clarity, strategy, or community. These are the qualities we prioritize when reviewing proposals. Practical & ActionableWe favour talks people can apply the next day: real examples, live demos, useful frameworks, lessons learned, or decision tools over abstract theory. Grounded in ExperienceYour proposal should come from work you’ve actually done or knowledge you can clearly stand behind: projects shipped, research completed, problems solved, lessons learned, or experience that changed how you think. Not a Product PitchPrompt Victoria is vendor-neutral. Share tools, examples, case studies, and lessons openly, but sessions built primarily to sell a product, service, or platform aren’t a fit. Clear Conference FitEach session should connect clearly to the conference theme, From Disruption to Direction, and to one of the conference tracks. The strongest proposals make it easy to see who the session is for, why it matters now, and what attendees will take away. Fresh, Original MaterialWe welcome fresh talks, updated versions of existing ones, and Victoria-specific angles. Tell us what’s new about this version and why it will feel relevant to this audience. Engaging & AccessibleStrong sessions make complex ideas easier to understand. We look for speakers who can hold attention, explain clearly, involve the audience, and make the topic useful for people with different levels of experience. From Proposal to Stage A simple, transparent process. Every proposal gets a real read from the program team. Submit Your ProposalFill out the form below with your talk idea, intended audience, and a bit about you. It takes most people 10–15 minutes. Review & ShortlistThe program team reviews every submission against the criteria above. Strong matches get a short follow-up conversation. Confirm & PrepSelected speakers are notified, announced on the site, and paired with a prep contact leading up to November 5. Submissions are now closed – we’d love to hear from you in 2027 though! Common Questions Short answers to the questions we hear most from prospective speakers. Don’t see yours? Contact the program team. Is there a speaker fee or honorarium? Compensation details for 2026 are being finalized by the organizing team. We’ll confirm directly with shortlisted speakers before asking for a final commitment. How long are the sessions? Most sessions are 30 or 45 minutes including Q&A. A smaller number of longer formats (workshops, panels) may be programmed — indicate your preference in the proposal. Can I co-present with someone? Yes. Submit one proposal and list both speakers in the bio field. All co-presenters need to be available on November 5, 2026. Will my talk be recorded? Recording policy for 2026 is being finalized. Speakers will be told the policy — and given any opt-out options — before the event. When will I hear back? Review timelines depend on submission volume. We’ll post a published decision date here once the window is confirmed, and you’ll receive at least one update even if your proposal isn’t selected. I’m not sure my idea is a fit — should I still submit? Yes. If it sits close to the criteria, submit it. The program team can often see a path to a strong session that isn’t obvious from the first draft. - [Speakers](https://promptvictoria.ca/speakers-index/): Meet the 2026 Speakers Practitioners, innovators, and leaders sharing what's actually working in AI today.

From a Sold-Out First Year to a Regional Fixture Prompt Victoria launched in 2025 as Vancouver Island’s first conference focused on practical AI for business and professionals.

Prefer a conversation? Contact the sponsorship team. From Inquiry to Activation A simple, direct process. One point of contact, one partnership plan built around your goals. Send an InquiryFill out the form below with a bit about your company and what you’re hoping to reach. It takes five minutes. Talk It ThroughThe sponsorship team will reach out to walk through the prospectus, timing, and whether a custom package makes more sense for you. Confirm & ActivateOnce signed, your logo lands on the site, your team receives passes, and we begin planning your on-site activation with you. Tell Us About Your Company Share a few details and we’ll be in touch within a few business days. Fields marked with an asterisk are required. Common Questions Short answers to the questions we hear most from prospective sponsors. Don’t see yours? Contact the sponsorship team. Can we customize a package? Yes. The published tiers will be a starting point — if you have specific goals, such as hosting a lunch, sponsoring a track, or bundling with VIATEC year-round programming, the team will build a package around them. When is the sponsorship deadline? Deadlines depend on the deliverables involved (print signage, program materials, stage inclusions). Higher-visibility partnerships are typically confirmed earliest. The sponsorship team will share specific cut-off dates when you inquire. What does the exhibit space include? Standard table with power, Wi-Fi, and signage placement. Booth upgrades — custom builds, demo stations, screens — can be arranged at cost. Full details are shared in the prospectus once your tier is confirmed. Do you offer speaking slots as part of sponsorship? Speaking slots are program-driven, not sold. Senior partnership levels may be considered for a stage slot where there’s a strong content fit, and the program team has the final call. If you have a talk idea, it can also be submitted via Become a Speaker. What are the payment terms? [An invoice is issued on package confirmation. Most sponsorships are paid in full prior to the event; multi-part payment terms can be arranged for multi-year or larger engagements. Details come with your tier confirmation.] Can we bring our own marketing materials and giveaways? Yes — printed materials, branded swag, and on-booth demos are encouraged. Anything distributed outside your booth (bag inserts, gift drops) needs approval from the organizing team to keep the experience consistent for attendees. How is sponsor recognition handled after the event? Sponsor logos stay on the 2026 event page year-over-year. Post-event recap communications (email, LinkedIn, VIATEC channels) reference senior partnership levels by name, and all sponsors are listed in the permanent 2026 record. - [Thank You](https://promptvictoria.ca/contact/thank-you/): Thanks for reaching out!

For most businesses and professionals, it can feel impossible to keep up. New tools appear daily. The headlines swing between utopian and apocalyptic. And somewhere in the middle, real people are trying to figure out what any of this actually means for their work, their teams, and their future. Prompt Victoria exists to cut through that noise. Presented by VIATEC and co-organized with the Victoria Data Society, PlusROI Online Marketing, and AI4Enterprise, Prompt Victoria is Vancouver Island’s largest AI conference. Rooted in Victoria’s tech and AI community, it’s a full day built around one idea: that the path forward isn’t about chasing every new tool or trend. It’s about finding your direction. In 2025, 350 people sold out our first-ever event. They came as curious professionals and left with practical strategies, new connections, and a clearer sense of where AI fits into their work and their world. In 2026, we’re going bigger.
