About this event

The next in-person PSA London event promises to be one of the busiest days of the year. We’ve lined up an amazing programme crammed with fantastic content. I can promise you the hours are going to whizz by!

 

There will be two keynote talks form Jo Lightfoot and Sobiya Jawaid, that will help you to incorporate a special X Factor into your speaking. The inimitable Steve Bustin will run an Ask The Expert session packed with tips that will help you to become an outstanding MC.

 

We’ll also be able to watch a host of associate members competing in the London heat of this year’s prestigious Speaker Factor competition.

 

You’ll also have the chance to network with fellow speakers, and to enjoy the usual superb lunch.

 

This promises to be an unmissable day in the heart of the capital – book your tickets now and I will look forward to seeing you there!
