Can I suggest topics or speakers for future summits?

Yes. We have a dedicated form for it, and suggestions from attendees and the wider community genuinely shape what we focus on next.

Where to send your suggestion

Head to forms.futureative.com/ask

The form is built around three short prompts:

• Your question. What's the one question about your creative career you'd love to see answered? Anything that's holding you back, or something you're looking for insight on.
• Who you wish could answer it. A specific person, a type of role, or a kind of creative. Whatever comes to mind.
• Your summit dream guest. Anyone in the creative world. We're always adding to our speaker wishlist and want your input.

You can answer one prompt or all three. There's also space to leave your name and email if you'd like us to know who sent the question, though that's optional.

Why we ask it this way

Rather than collecting broad topic areas, we want to know the actual questions creatives are sitting with. Those are easier to take to speakers, and they make for stronger sessions. A clear question gets you closer to an answer than a general theme does.

Suggesting yourself as a speaker

If you'd like to speak at a Futureative summit yourself, we have a separate path for that. See our article on how to apply to speak.

What happens next

Suggestions are reviewed as part of our planning for upcoming summits. We can't promise a personal reply to every one, but every submission is read and feeds into the conversations we have when shaping each summit's line-up.

We approach speakers with care, so even great suggestions don't always result in an invitation. Our line-ups balance topic, format, audience fit, and availability.

Want to keep in the loop with what we're planning?

The best way to stay close to what's coming next is to join Front Row, our Substack publication. Front Row members get early visibility into summit themes and speaker announcements, and the community discussion there is often where the strongest ideas surface.
