Book me to speak
I am available to speak at conferences on millenials/97ers, open data, democracy, women in technology and suicide in teenagers. To book me to speak at your event please email emma@mulqueenys.com. My profile on WikiStage is here.
Charging
I do charge to speak at events because I take them seriously and it takes a lot of work to produce a talk that will be of value and unique to your audience.
Pro Bono
I will speak at four events a year for free, over and above selected TED/x or the annual PDF conference.
If you want me to speak pro-bono then your event must fulfil the following criteria:
- not charge a fee for people to attend,
- must be addressing a challenging subject where my input will add real value,
- must be for the greater good and
- have policies in place to protect the attendees or speakers from being waylaid by people looking for products or services to be provided for free.
