Career Conference 2026 Speaker Volunteer Form
On Monday March 30, 2026 we will be hosting our 14th annual Career Conference. This is a wonderful opportunity for sophomore (Grade 10) students to gain a broader understanding of potential options for their future. 

We would like to invite you to join as a guest speaker! Guest speakers discuss topics such as their career path, how they arrived at their current role, details about what their professional field looks like and qualifications needed. If your career journey has not been linear, that is valuable information to present as well. 

Speakers will commit to two consecutive 40 minute sessions, with a 5 min break in between each. These sessions are in-person only. We are unable to accommodate online speakers. 

Sessions 1 & 2: 8:30-9:10 9:15-9:55
OR 
Sessions 3 & 4: 10:15-11:00 11:05-11:50

If you are interested in taking this opportunity to join us as a guest speaker, please complete this form and we will reach out to you with additional details. At that time, we will request a brief bio and a picture to add to the Career Conference Website. 

We hope to have a diverse list of professions available for our students to explore. If you have any suggestions for other potential speakers, please feel free to pass this volunteer survey on to them. 

If you have any questions, please reach out to the DAA High School Counseling Department Secretary, Ms Crystel Santiago c.santiago1_daa@gemsedu.com
