About MDRT Speaks
MDRT Speaks is a series of innovative and creative business concepts delivered in a variety of presentation formats as part of the Main Platform program. MDRT Speaks segments presented by MDRT members typically run an average of 3-6 minutes.

MDRT Speaks presenters must join MDRT for 2021 and register for the 2021 meeting for which they would be speaking. MDRT does not pay an honorarium or cover the registration fee, housing or travel expenses for member speakers.

Please note: MDRT Speaks is highly selective, and completing this proposal form does not guarantee selection. You will be notified by January whether or not your proposal has been selected.

Video Submission Instructions
In order to be considered for MDRT Speaks, you need to record a brief proposal video and upload it to the cloud platform of your choice (Google, Dropbox, OneDrive, YouTube, etc.)

MDRT Speaks proposal videos do not have to be professional quality. A video recording using a home camera or smartphone will be sufficient.

The video should be in English, no more than five minutes long and should include:

1. Introduction – The introduction should be no longer than one minute and include:

Your name
Where you live
Title of the proposed presentation
The Content Track you’ve selected

2. Main takeaway benefits the attendees will receive

3. Summary of Proposed Presentation – Keeping in mind these presentations are very short, give a short presentation summary as you would if speaking to the MDRT audience.

This sample video includes an example of an introduction, title, takeaway benefits and partial presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-k2AtE2J5E
