TenTalk brings new opportunity to speak at the SOAR Summit

Posted on 2 years ago

10 minutes, two slides, and you. We are proud to announce the addition of TenTalk to the 2023 SOAR Summit, presented by Appalachian Wireless and the Appalachian Regional Commission. It is October 3-4 in Corbin at the Corbin Arena. 

TenTalk is presented by the University of the Cumberlands. It is intended to allow those passionate about the region and specific topics a chance to take the main stage inside the Corbin Arena. Those interested must complete an application. The deadline to apply has passed, but stay tuned to find out what topics will be shared by Eastern Kentucky locals at the 2023 SOAR Summit.

About the Summit

The SOAR Summit is Appalachia’s premier convening. It attracts over 1,400 attendees and more than 100 exhibitors. The Summit returns to Corbin this year. The city hosted the 2021 SOAR Summit. 

Attendees can network, build relationships, and participate in programming relevant to moving the region forward. Registration for the SOAR Summit will open in the coming weeks. Early bird registration will be $50 through August 31. This includes two full days of programming, breakfast and lunch on both days, the Summit Exhibit Hall, and the SOAR Summit Reception, presented by Whitaker Bank, on the evening of October 3 in downtown Corbin.

Straight to the Point

Ten Talk is less of a presentation and more of a conversation. Those selected will only have two slides and ten minutes. We’ll package specifics talks around categories.

Some of the categories to choose from include:

  • Connectivity
  • Workforce
  • Industrial Recruitment
  • Healthy Communities
  • Downtown Revitalization
  • Regional Tourism
  • Agriculture and Local Foods
  • Leadership
  • Building coalitions 
  • Digital Equity
  • Remote Work
  • Education
  • Infrastructure
  • Grants
  • Youth Engagement
  • Entrepreneurship/Innovation
  • Housing
  • Community and Regional Planning

Don’t see a category on the list? No problem. We still want to hear your idea. 

The application for TenTalk is now closed, however, stay tuned to find out what topics will be covered at the 2023 SOAR Summit.
