Doctors Without Borders / Médecins sans frontières (MSF) is a global movement, with more than 40,000 staff members working on the front lines of humanitarian crises in close to 70 countries. Our Canadian office is responsible for sending over 250 staff overseas each year. When they return, many are excited to connect with others, share their stories and talk about the realities of working with MSF.

If you’d like to request a speaker for an event or presentation, please fill out this form and we will do our best to find a speaker suited to your needs. Our volunteers are involved in projects around the world and are often in-and-out of the country on short notice, making it difficult to commit far in advance. With that said, requests should be submitted 1-2 months before the day of the event. 

The Speakers’ Bureau Coordinator will contact you within 10 working days of your request to confirm event details. Thereafter, efforts will be made to identify a speaker appropriate for your event. Unfortunately, as identifying a speaker depends on the availability of our staff, finding one is not guaranteed. Should any details related to your event change, you are kindly asked to contact your Speakers Bureau Coordinator.
