Countdown Until RWGroomX:

NaN days, NaN hours, NaN minutes, NaN seconds

To be considered for inclusion in the RW GroomX speaker or judge applicant pools, a complete application must be submitted. Applications that are incomplete, missing information, or lacking required documentation will not be reviewed. Please ensure all sections are filled out thoroughly and accurately to avoid delays in processing.

It is important to understand that submission of an application does not guarantee selection for a speaking or judging assignment. Each applicant is evaluated carefully, and selection is based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to: professional experience, subject matter expertise, presentation style, reputation within the industry, and overall fit with the goals of RW GroomX.

For instructor applicants, special consideration is given to those who can contribute unique, original content not already offered at other industry events. We place a high value on educational topics that bring fresh insights, techniques, or perspectives to the grooming community. Additionally, innovative and engaging delivery methods—such as interactive workshops, hands-on demonstrations, or creative presentation formats—are strongly encouraged and may receive priority in the selection process.

All chosen speakers and judges should demonstrate professionalism, the ability to connect with diverse audiences, and a commitment to advancing the grooming profession. RW GroomX aims to curate a team that not only educates but also inspires and uplifts groomers at all stages of their careers.

Applicants are encouraged to apply on a timely basis.  Speakership opportunities are limited.

If selected to participate in RW GroomX, I acknowledge the importance of actively promoting both my involvement in the event and the broader value of the conference to the grooming industry. It is in the mutual interest of RW GroomX and myself to ensure consistent, early, and widespread publicity.

Accordingly, I agree to create and distribute promotional content through available channels, including but not limited to Facebook, Instagram, other social media platforms, bulk emails, text messages, podcast announcements, and any additional means at my disposal.

Beginning upon acceptance of a personal appearance agreement and continuing until the start of the conference, I will post and tag RW GroomX in social media announcements and related content at least twice a week. These promotions will highlight both the event itself and my educational sessions, thereby enhancing visibility for RW GroomX.  If additional content, pictures, or graphics are needed, I will contact RWGroomX to attain those needed digital items.

RWGroomX pays $200/hour for those who follow the social media requirements, and $150/hour for those who do not. 

Speaker agrees to present themselves and the Event in a professional and appropriate manner across all public platforms. Any marketing materials, video clips, or social media posts created by or on behalf of Speaker that mention RWGroomX, its logo, or its schedule must adhere to professional decorum and feature appropriate, non-explicit attire. RWGroomX reserves the right to terminate this agreement and cancel Speaker's sessions immediately, without compensation, if Speaker engages in marketing or public conduct that discredits, disparages, or negatively impacts the professional reputation of RWGroomX.
