This speaker agreement is entered into between H & E Marketing Solutions “Us”and Speaker “You”, or individually “Party”.
We are honored to have you speak at the Online Fundraising Virtual Summit, held online on October 24 – 28.
Information
The information you submit to us, including your name, bio, photos, and website address will be used for marketing activities including, but not limited to publications, promotions or showcase of program on our website or social media, and similar purposes. We will make edits for clarity and length, as needed and in our sole discretion. You may request the right to review your final bio before it is posted. If you request the right to review it, you shall send us approvals or disapprovals to confirm factual accuracy within 2 days. If you do not send approvals or disapprovals within this timeframe, we will consider your non response as consent to proceed with the bio as-is. The right to approve the final bio does not extend to approvals over style, voice or format as we need to ensure consistency with our branding. You may also request copies of all materials for your own use.
The requested information is due ASAP.

You also represent that you have purchased the proper licenses for any materials contained within your presentation (ie. stock photos, music).
A suggested presentation outline is provided on the Speaker Information page on our website.
