Expenses & Reimbursements

Each speaker works with Landscape Illinois to negotiate speaker fees and/or travel expense reimbursement before the contract is signed. If you have questions about what was negotiated, please contact Kellie Schmidt. In order to expedite the payment and reimbursement process, please complete the form below. 

You have the following options:

1. Complete the form before the conference to receive your speaker fee at the event. A check will be ready for pick up, once you arrive on site.  You must complete the form by January 1, 2026 to exercise this option. 

2. Complete the form once after the conference to receive your check by mail for your speaker fee and any travel expense reimbursement.  This check will arrive within 30 days following the event. We ask that you complete the form by February 28, 2026.

3. Complete the form before the conference to receive your speaker fee at the event, and then again after the event to receive your negotiated travel expense reimbursement. We ask that you complete the form by February 28, 2026.

NOTE: If travel expenses are being reimbursed, receipts are required.  They must be emailed to Kellie Schmidt at kschmidt@landscapeillinois.org when the reimbursement form is submitted.
