2027 Call for Speakers

March 5, 2027 12-2pm ET

This exciting FREE annual event celebrates International Grant Professionals Day (#IGPD) by bringing together grant pros like YOU with a diverse lineup of insights from grant professionals and best practice-focused topics.

In just 2 hours, the Summit features a lineup of 6 expert speakers who deliver informative 10-minute presentations, each followed immediately by a 5-minute live Q&A session with the speaker.

The Summit sessions dive into the key stages of the grant lifecycle, including Readiness, Research, Relationships, wRiting, and Reporting.

Best part? It’s totally free to join, and all the session recordings will be sent out to participants afterward, making the Summit super accessible. You can also pop in and out as you like, catching the sessions that fit your schedule best.

The benefit of attending live? You will have the ability to be part of the Q & A discussions—those are NOT recorded.
