Voices that power change.

Scotland’s go-to list for diverse speakers in the energy sector.

The future of energy needs every voice

Voices That Power Change is a growing speakers register designed to help event organisers across Scotland find expert voices beyond the usual names.

Too often, panels and industry conversations draw from the same networks — limiting the diversity of perspectives represented. This initiative is about widening that pool, making it easier to identify skilled speakers with a range of lived experiences, backgrounds, and expertise across energy and infrastructure.

We are starting with a strong focus on improving gender balance — particularly increasing the visibility of women in energy — while supporting broader diversity across all protected characteristics. But it doesn’t stop there.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or have valuable insight to share but haven’t yet had the opportunity, we want to hear from you.

Who it’s for

Individuals who:

  • Work in or alongside the energy and infrastructure sectors

  • Have insight, expertise or lived experience to contribute

  • Are interested in speaking at events, panels, roundtables or media opportunities

You do not need extensive speaking experience — this is about actively building a pipeline of new and emerging voices.

How it works

  1. Complete the short sign-up form
    Share your contact details, areas of expertise, and any relevant experience.

  2. Join the speakers register
    Your details will be held in a Google Sheet and access given to event organisers via the link below, used to match you with relevant speaking opportunities.

  3. Be considered for opportunities
    Event organisers can then contact you directly. I’m simply helping to start the list!

How organisers can use it

Event organisers and partners can use the register to:

  • Identify speakers with specific expertise

  • Build more balanced and representative panels

  • Move beyond the “usual names”

  • Strengthen the quality and credibility of industry conversations

It only takes a minute and will help ensure that future energy and infrastructure discussions better reflect the full range of talent across Scotland.

Important information

  • By signing up, you are agreeing to be contacted about relevant speaking opportunities.

  • Providing information about protected characteristics is optional, and you can select “prefer not to say.”

  • Your data will be shared publicly once you complete the form.

Disclaimer

Please only submit this form for yourself.

We’re building a trusted and accurate register, so we ask that individuals opt in directly rather than being nominated by others. If you’d like to recommend someone, we encourage you to share this page with them and invite them to sign up.

Better, more inclusive conversations don’t happen by accident — they happen when we actively broaden who gets heard.
