Speakers Bureau

Max Morel speaking to an audience for the Speakers Bureau.

MSF regularly sends speakers to give presentations to medical, academic, and community groups throughout the United States. Each year, more than 100 MSF aid workers participate in these events. Please click here for a list of upcoming and past events.

How to Request a Speaker

Due to an increased interest in MSF's activities in recent years and a limited number of aid workers available to participate in speaking events, more requests are made for speakers than can be fulfilled. Please review the following guidelines before requesting a speaker.

MSF encourages requests from the following:

National and regional conferences focusing on international medical and humanitarian concerns
Medical, public health, and international affairs schools and institutions
University and community groups interested in international medical and humanitarian concerns

In order to provide sufficient time to search for an appropriate speaker, please submit your request 4-8 weeks prior to the date of the event.
