CDFA Speaker Request Form

Thank you for your interest in having CDFA speak at your next event. CDFA experts routinely speak and present at conferences, webinars, training courses, and industry events. The Council’s vast expertise in a broad spectrum of economic development finance topics allows for multiple presentation topics, styles and delivery methods. In general, CDFA speakers can tailor presentations for targeted small groups or deliver broad ranging presentations to large conference audiences.
