About this event

March brings a powerful PSA Virtual evening focused on helping you speak more, speak better, and get booked more often. With two high-energy keynote sessions and a thought-provoking Showcase, this month is all about strengthening your communication, deepening your connection and simplifying the path to more speaking opportunities.

Expect practical tools, real-world strategies, and an energising dose of inspiration — all delivered in the warm, supportive style that defines the PSA Virtual Region.

Elliot Kay — How Professional Speakers Build Predictable Bookings Without Chasing Event Planners

Even experienced speakers can fall into the feast-or-famine cycle.  One quarter you’re fully booked.  The next, you’re refreshing your inbox wondering where the pipeline went.
The problem isn’t your keynote. It isn’t your talent. And it’s rarely “the market.” It’s the absence of a repeatable booking system.
In Get Consistent Gigs, you’ll learn how professional speakers create steady demand for their talks without relying on referrals alone, last-minute outreach, or constant hustle.
This session breaks down the practical framework behind predictable bookings — the positioning, visibility, and relationship strategies that keep you top-of-mind with decision-makers year-round.
You’ll discover:
  • Why most speakers unintentionally reset their pipeline after every event
  • The three core drivers of consistent speaking revenue
  • How to stay visible to event planners without being pushy
  • A simple follow-up strategy that turns one keynote into multiple bookings
  • How to build demand between gigs so you’re never starting from zero
This isn’t about sending more cold emails or lowering your fee.  It’s about building a reputation and system that compounds.
If you want consistent gigs instead of inconsistent hope, this talk will show you how to make predictability your competitive advantage.

Beth Sherman — Create Really, Really Rapid Rapport — Even on Zoom

Virtual audiences decide in seconds whether to trust you, stay engaged, or tune out. In this session, Beth Sherman — a comedian who has spent 30 years needing to win over a room instantly — shows speakers how to create that same fast buy-in on camera. You’ll learn how to build immediate emotional connection, hold attention, and increase your impact in every virtual presentation.

Plus an open Q&A where Beth will help attendees troubleshoot their specific virtual engagement challenges and find faster ways to build emotional connection online.

We’ll also have a showcase from Liz Crutchley.

We can’t wait to welcome you this March!
