Call for Speakers: 37th Annual Spring Pricing Workshops & Conference

The Professional Pricing Society enthusiastically announces our plans for our 37th Annual Spring Conference, to be held in Chicago, IL from April 28 - May 1, 2026.

We invite you to share your thinking and expertise by applying to be a speaker at our event. Session submissions including: Titles (10 words max), Abstracts (50 words max), Objectives (50 words max), Bios (75 words max), and hi-res headshots are due Friday, February 13, 2026.

Are you driving pricing transformation that fuels profitable growth on a global scale? We want to hear from you.

The Professional Pricing Society invites bold, visionary speakers to step forward with insights that challenge the status quo and ignite strategic thinking around global pricing leadership. We're seeking sessions that go beyond theory—real-world case studies, pricing practicums, and unconventional strategies that elevate pricing from a function to a force.

What we seek:
✔️ Actionable frameworks that inspire adoption across organizations
✔️ Data-driven pricing leadership stories with measurable results
✔️ Out-of-the-box approaches to navigating volatility, value, and velocity
✔️ Practical tools to empower the next generation of pricing leaders

🚫 What We’re Not Looking For:

- Your granddad’s PowerPoint deck—dated slides, dense text, or lifeless lectures won’t cut it.
- Your 1972 business thesis for b-school—we need forward-thinking, not flashbacks.
- Your conjoint analysis from your Abacus—today’s pricers demand modern tools, not museum pieces.

We’re here to elevate, not recycle. Bring the energy, the insights, and the execution-ready ideas.

This is your moment to influence the future of pricing leadership—globally.

If you have any questions, please e-mail Johnny Haskins, Jr., MBA, Director of Education and Certification, at johnny@pricingsociety.com.

Thank you so much for your consideration. We are looking forward to your abstract submission.
