The best event for the military community, the Military Influencer Conference, has opened its speaker application window. Past speakers have included Samuel Adams founder Jim Koch, TV personality Jon Stewart, author Jack Carr, the first female Chief MSGT for the Air Force JoAnn Bass, and many, many more. Beyond the names you know, countless speakers have made their debut at MIC, taking the stage to share their passions, expertise and stories. Is it your time?
Some of the best conversations happen at this event. Not just on stage but also in the moments between sessions—when someone shares a strategy that shifts your thinking, when an idea sparks a collaboration, when a speaker’s words stay with you long after the event ends.
If you’ve ever wanted to be part of that impact, now’s your chance.
Speaker applications for MIC 2025 are open. We’re looking for voices that challenge, inspire, and push the military community forward. If you have expertise in business, media, finance, leadership or you feel you have a story that needs to be told, we want to hear from you!
This isn’t just about giving a talk. It’s about creating impact, opening doors, and sharing knowledge that moves people to action.
If you’re ready to step up, apply now. The MIC stage is waiting for you.

What Format Works Best
You can present your story in several different ways. Please review the options below and identify what format best communicates the message.
- Keynote Speaker – When I announce events, people travel from across the country to hear me speak. I have a following that’s active and engaged. I’m a celebrity, an accomplished leader, or a disruptor changing norms and practices.
- Breakout Session – People regard me as a subject matter expert and my talking points are focused on specific segments. I’m capable of delivering high value talks in short periods of time.
