About this event

PSA East Midlands is up and at it again! Our February meeting welcomed 35 delegates of whom 12 were first time visitors! WOW!

March sees a return of the Showcase, with Marillo Bianco taking to the stage.

We also have our Regional Heat of the PSA’s ‘Emerging Speaker of the Year’ competition! The winner will go on to represent PSA East Midlands at the Semi-Final and (hopefully) Final to be held at the PSA Impact! 2026 conference on 17th/18th April. So, come along and support our entrants, and see how to craft and deliver an inspiring talk over just 5 minutes!

The keynote for the evening comes from our own Yvonne Emery, Chair of the PSA UK & Ireland Board.
To be able to speak at a moment’s notice is a skill that helps you to grow your business, be seen by people and be a huge help to event organisers.  Yvonne will show you how to build your grid of talks so that your content grows and your confidence to put your voice out there can expand exponentially.
Use this to ignite your own podcast or YouTube channel, write regular articles for magazines or social media.  When you have your own grid of talks you can adapt to any audience at very short notice and be the go-to person when someone drops out at the last minute.

Continuing our 2026 Presidential theme of ‘Connection’ we will also be providing plenty of opportunity for you to connect, network and find areas in which we can support each other in our businesses and speaking!

Whether you are in the ‘speaking business’ or the ‘business of speaking’ our March event promises useable content and opportunities for personal and professional growth.

So, what are you waiting for?! Get your tickets now!

Come for the Content. Stay for the Community!
