While we are unable to provide honorariums for our speakers, we are pleased to offer the following support:
  • For those traveling from outside of Kern County, BWBC will provide a hotel room the night before the conference.
  • Please note that speakers are responsible for their own travel arrangements to and from the venue.
  • We will also provide a complimentary ticket to our Key Note Luncheon as a thank you for your participation. If you prefer, you may opt for a boxed lunch instead.
  • If chosen as a workshop speaker you will have the opportunity to bring one assistant, and BWBC will offer a discounted ticket rate for your assistant.
  • Please carefully craft and submit your Presentation Title and Summary, as these will be used in our marketing materials if your workshop is selected. If chosen, BWBC will feature your submitted Presentation Title, Summary, and professional headshot in our promotional efforts.
