Tips for a Speaker
How can I suggest a topic?

How can I know if the chosen Moderator is available?
All days in each Moderator's calendar are highlighted in three colors:
- green means available. You can make the appointment.
- red means unavailable. All the sessions are booked.
- gray means the Moderator's day off.
How can a Speaker pay for his session?
Speakers pay directly to the Moderator in any convenient way. SayAnyway does not participate in the financial settlement process between Speakers and Moderators.
How can a Speaker cancel or reschedule the session?
You can suggest rescheduling the session by sending a request via personal account to the Moderator with the new session details. If all the new session details suit all the parties, Moderator reschedules it.
