APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN – THE DEADLINE TO APPLY IS 31ST MARCH 2026.

Please note: we may close applications ahead of this date if a suitable number of applications are received – so it’s best to get in there early!

We’re looking for engaging, inspiring speakers to come and feed our hungry minds at Shambala. Whether you’re an author, philosopher, scientist or documentarian, an activist, a gardener or simply someone with a brilliantly inspiring story to tell, we want to hear from you.
Of particular interest to us are those on a quest to make the world a better place – whether that’s through philosophical ideas or direct action on the ground. We’re looking for speakers that tell their story in participatory, interesting, fun and interactive ways, so tell us about that too.

Our venue for Speakers and Big Ideas this year is Talu – an intimate shoes-off space to truly listen and connect.
