Next steps
Once you submit your request, you should receive an automated email confirming your request has been received.

The Youth Leadership Team at CMY will then endeavour to match a speaker for your event. We may contact you for further information or clarification if needed.

Please note, our staff work part time and need to liaise with a number of young people prior to confirming your booking. However, if you do not hear from CMY within one week of making your request, please contact us on (03) 9340 3700.

Once a speaker has been confirmed, you will receive an email that connects you with the speaker and provides their contact details. It will also ask you to outline:

- Transport and parking options

- How to access the venue

- Who will be the contact person on the day and their contact number

- Technical equipment including audio visual.

From here, you will be able to liaise directly with the speaker regarding any changes to or cancellation of your event.

If your event is cancelled for any reason, please advise both the speaker and CMY with as much notice as possible. If a booked speaker needs to cancel, they will inform you as soon as possible and CMY will aim to find a replacement.
