Speakers Bureau Request

Looking for an expert speaker for your next business or community event? The Indiana Chamber has a number of staff members ready for engagements throughout the state.

Our eight government affairs specialists are among Indiana’s most recognized experts on issues such as local government efficiency, taxation and public finance, education, health care, energy and environmental policy, economic development and small business, technology, workplace health and safety, labor matters and civil justice. Also, our public affairs director is an excellent resource for election and campaign-related talks. In addition, as of January 2006, Indiana INTERNnet – a FREE online system that connects in-state employers with Hoosier college students for internship opportunities – is managed by the Indiana Chamber. Indiana INTERNnet welcomes the opportunity to be included on the program for your next event to discuss how internships are a win-win proposition for employers as well as students. The entire Indiana Chamber team knows its stuff and enjoys educating others.

The Chamber’s goal is to craft a speech to fit your specific need. If your business or organization is primarily interested in one certain topic, that’s exactly the speech content you will receive. Conversely, if you want a big picture view of a variety of topics, such as a legislative review or preview, we can do that, too. Our speakers are available throughout the day and evening hours for various engagements, including conferences, board functions, breakfast meetings, luncheons and dinners.

If you have an audience of 20 people or more and would like to have a Chamber expert address your group, please contact our speakers directly or fill out the form below.

Indiana Chamber staff members do not accept individual honorariums for speaking engagements. However, any organization wishing to make a contribution in lieu of an honorarium is asked to submit a check to the Indiana Chamber of Commerce Foundation (which produces thoughtful research and analysis to enhance Indiana’s economic future and quality of life).

Expense reimbursement is customary (effective July 1, 2008). Typical in-state expenses include mileage (using the standard federal reimbursement rate) from Indianapolis. If the round trip is more than 250 miles, rental car expenses may apply, in addition to lodging and meal costs (if applicable). Out-of-state speaking engagements may also involve airline flight reimbursement.

A complete expense listing and invoice will be provided by the Chamber following the speaking engagement.
