event details
Throughline returns on February 3-5, 2027—and we want to feature new voices and fresh thinking. This year’s theme: Ambiguity as Opportunity!
Join us this month as we launch our call for speakers with a special Loose Threads event designed to equip you with everything you need to write a compelling talk for Throughline 2027—and pitch it to us!
First, we’ll walk you through our submission process—and answer any questions you have about topics, formats, and general logistics.
Then, we’ll jump into brainstorming mode—teaching you some of the practices and frameworks from our Storytelling for Public Speaking course to help you generate ideas that will resonate with Throughline attendees.
You’ll leave the event with new ideas for the stories you want to tell—and access to resources to help you pitch us with confidence.
