The 2026 SelectUSA Investment Summit will highlight the diverse voices of our audience and strive to include in the planning process all stakeholders important to foreign direct investment (FDI) attraction in the planning process.
Priority consideration for Investment Summit programming closed on September 12, 2025. Any new submissions will be considered for any gaps in programming at the Investment Summit, as well as for future SelectUSA programming. If you wish to be considered for future programming, please continue the submission process below.
Submitters will receive notification via email in early 2026 if their speaker proposal was accepted. The U.S. Department of Commerce and SelectUSA will internally vet each speaker suggestion and determine the best fit for the topics discussed at the Investment Summit. SelectUSA's programming strives to provide its clients with relevant and informative topics, representing a variety of perspectives and a balance of fundamentals and emerging trends in the FDI conversation. To ensure this, SelectUSA endeavors to offer a balance of both returning and new speakers and topics.
Submitting an application does not guarantee a speaking opportunity or the selection of your proposed topic. Due to the high volume of submissions, SelectUSA carefully reviews all recommendations, but is unable to accommodate every request. If your submission is selected, a member of the SelectUSA team will contact you directly to confirm participation.
We are grateful for your suggestions.
