FDA/OII Speaker Requests and Invitations

Organizations frequently ask OII employees to give a speech, make a presentation, or participate on a panel, meeting, or webinar related to OII regulations, policies, and initiatives.

The process below is for OII as a single FDA organization request and/or multiple FDA organization requests (cross agency).

How to request a speaker from OII

Step 1

Send a notification/advance notice request email containing all the Speaker Request information* below before filling out the on-line Questionnaire in Step 2. 

Step 2

Complete the online questionnaire

Speaker Request Questionnaire

Please Note: Edge is the only officially supported browser for FDA websites. Other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc.) have not been verified and may prevent successful form submissions.

Speaker Request information

Information needed for the Speaker Request Questionnaire (single and/or cross agency): 

  • Name, date and location of the event 
  • Name of organization(s) sponsoring the event 
  • Invitation letter and agenda (PDFs and Word documents smaller than 5MB are acceptable, including active HTML links to web pages or websites) 
  • Topic of speakers’ presentation and desired length of presentation 
  • Targeted audience and expected number of attendees 
  • Organization contact information (name, phone/fax number, email) 
  • Complete program agenda with all invited speaker(s) and topic(s) (draft agenda is acceptable) 
  • Specify media coverage (i.e., general media and/or trade press) 
  • Other pertinent information 

When to Submit:  

  • For events within the contiguous United States, please allow 3 to 4 months' advance notice. 
  • For events abroad, as well as in Alaska and Hawaii, please allow 4 to 6 months' advance notice. 

What happens after your request has been submitted? 

Agency review is first conducted and then your request might be passed onto OII for acceptance and/or denial of your request.

Some of the factors which may be used by OII management in considering requests are timeliness of the topic, geographical location, targeted audience, availability of staff, and funding availability.

Once a determination has been made, an official notification of OII participation will be sent to sponsoring organizations by the FDA Office of External Affairs (OEA).
