About this event

Collaboration Evolution: East Midlands Power Up! with PSA National President Michelle Mills-Porter and Birmingham Regional President Dave James.

Kickstart 2025 with inspiration, connection, and collaboration at our first PSA East Midlands event of the year!

We’re thrilled to welcome PSA’s National President Michelle Mills-Porter, as she shares her vision for the year ahead under the theme “Collaboration Evolution.” Michelle will outline her plans to foster greater collaboration across the PSA in 2025, and get us actively involved in the process!

This event is more than just a talk—it’s the perfect opportunity to connect with fellow speakers, exchange ideas, and refine your craft. Alongside Michelle’s keynote, you’ll also enjoy a second interactive session led by Dave James, helping us to speak more authentically “like humans, not robots”, as well as Showcase Speaker presentations from our very talented members.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or just starting out, this event is jam packed with ideas and inspiration to help you grow.

Expect engaging discussions, new perspectives, and practical takeaways to set you on a path to success in the year ahead. And of course, plenty of networking opportunities to reconnect with old friends and make new ones in the PSA community. We’ll also be introducing the brand new Robin Hood Randomiser – giving more people the opportunity to get up on our PSA stage!

Let’s make 2025 a year of collaborative success together!
