Inclusivity and Diversity
We aim to be inclusive and diverse; in terms of our speakers and our participants. We encourage new authentic Speakers.
We’re committed to creating a safe space for everyone to share ideas, try something new, get feedback, and engage with a knowledgeable, open-minded audience. We want to ensure participants can connect, network and learn from their industry peers in a positive environment.
We provide a safe and fun place to share ideas and try something new. Our ‘Code of conduct’ describes expected behaviour.
Our review process is anonymous – to ensure selection based on merit and not how well a speaker is known. We want to hear your story – the first step is to submit it.
Our Review Process
After the submission deadline closes, our selection panel will review all submissions. This usually takes around 4-6 weeks and the final speaker(s) notification will commence post 30th April 2026.
The review process is anonymous – all speaker names, biographies and other details are removed – to ensure the panel selects sessions on their merit and not on how well a speaker is known.
To help us ensure personally identifying information is not included in the process, do not include this information in your session descriptions. These include links to blogs or recordings.
Factors that are considered when reviewing a proposal include whether:
- the session will align with the conference themes and complement other sessions
- the subject to be covered is clearly defined
- the subject will be of interest to the audience
- the content is of high quality
- the session will be well organised and well delivered
What we expect from our speakers
If your session is included in our programme, there are a few things we need you to agree to as a speaker at RSG Pune 2026. Do not submit a proposal if you feel you cannot agree to these.
As a Speaker you will:
- abide by our Code of Conduct
- promote your session in the build-up to the event
- respond to any requests we make to ensure your session is ready, such as making sure the review panel’s feedback has been addressed, or reviewing the programme or your slides
