This phrase appears in the description of the author of an article:
"Tiene una experiencia profesional de mas de 20 años como experto y consultor ....*Docente invitado y poniente habitual*, es miembro de la XXXX ... " etc.
The text is from Spain (Cataluña, actually).
It's especially the "docente invitado" part ... I don't know if this is a term that has specific academic meaning ... but I will appreciate help with the entire phrase. I would use "frequent presenter" for "ponente habitual" unless this has some more specific meaning.
¡Gracias por la ayuda!

Selected
a guest lecturer and regular conference speaker
I think lecturer rather than teacher, in an academic context. And in such a context "ponente" means someone who speaks at conference, delivering papers (ponencias).

You were just ahead, Jessica! And we had almost the same idea, but I think I still prefer my "conference speaker" idea, so I'll leave my answer as an alternative.

PS I used to teach at a UK university, and "guest lecturer" is what we say too.

I realise it's a bit late in the day to be adding notes, Joseph, but I've just thought of a possibility that hadn't struck me before. Unless I'm mistaken, "habitual" could govern both "docente invitado" and "ponente", which would give us "a regular (or frequent) guest lecturer and conference speaker". I must admit that as I look at it now, it seems quite plausible. I leave it to you to decide.

Note from asker:
| Hi Charles. Thank you very much for the additional thought. I think it makes sense, and I'll propose the change to my client ... the overall project is long and isn't finished yet, so I think we can still make this nice little change. |

Comment: "Very nice solution, and I liked the change of word order with "regular" coming before both terms. Thanks for your help."

guest lecturer and regular presenter
"Guest lecturer" is the term they used at the university where I used to teach-- in the US. The "regular presenter" is my own idea -- I think "habitual" translates better as "regular".
