About this event

Join us for our mid-year event where we’ll be hosting our Regional heats of our annual Speaker Factor competition and giving you a deep-dive insight into what you can gain as a professional speaker.

 

The brilliant Andy Lopata, Julie Holmes and Simon Hazeldine will be joining us as judges for our Speaker Factor competition and will also be speaking on a panel to answer your questions about professional speaking.

 

We’re going to look at the different types of professional speaking from virtual to face-to-face, Keynote speaking to delivering workshops and training, podcasting, TEDxing and more.

 

We’re also going to look at the different business models you can explore as a professional speaker.

 

All our panelists have built impressive businesses where speaking plays a key part, we will dive into their specific experience and explore questions relating to:

  • Productising your keynotes to increase your fees and generate recurring revenue
  • How to generate £15k a year from being a professional podcast host
  • 14 different ways to generate revenue from speaking
  • Selling programmes instead of individual keynotes
  • Generating a consistent six-figure turnover business
  • Recurring, regular bookings in different formats from corporate clients and large multi-national

*Please note that there will be no meeting in August so this is our last meeting before September 6th 2023*
