The Audience:
About 350 attendees representing the entire household and commercial products supply chain, including C-suite executives and members of senior leadership teams.

Additional Information:

  • Speakers must be able to attend in-person.
  • Speakers are not guaranteed solo sessions and confirmed speakers may be paired with speakers from other companies to speak from different angles and perspectives of a similar topic.
  • Sessions will vary in length and audience Q+A is encouraged in all sessions.
  • HCPA does not offer compensation for speaking engagements but can offer a speaker rate to attend the conference if your proposal is selected.
  • Speakers will have the opportunity to participate in brain dates. A brain date is where HCPA will set up time for attendees to set up individual appointments for a block of time (20 – 25 minutes) to ask specific questions on a particular topic.

Interested speakers should submit their completed proposal by Monday, September 15. Selected speakers will be notified via email by September 30, 2025. You must complete the entire form for your proposal to be considered.
