Welcome! Thank you for your interest in speaking at the American Gem Society’s annual Conclave!
Conclave RFPs are due August 9, 2019.
Conclave is known for exceptional learning in a relaxed, friendly, and open environment. Our event is designed so that attendees not only learn something new, but leave with action items they can implement in their businesses. Please help us provide new ways of learning that allow attendees to connect with one another, gain new insights, and leverage their key findings.
Session formats:
Session formats:
- Hands-on learning
- Panel discussions
- Roundtables
- Any non-standard deviations from “lecture and PowerPoint” teaching ideas and learning experiences are encouraged.
We are also dividing our content into “beginner,” "intermediate," and “advanced” streams to better enable our attendees to tailor to their learning levels. With that in mind, be sure to adjust your content for the right level of audience and designate it in the RFP.
