Through 2022 we booked up to 24 speakers every year on all kinds of topics. The talks were very short, 15 minutes, because the majority of our time we spent networking and sharing resources.
In 2023 however, we will be hosting more virtual speaker summits and opening up 25-45 minute speaking opportuntities for speakers of all kinds. We will have themed summits and speakers who fit those themes and topics may apply. There will be over 100 speaking opportunities with those and the annual conference, which in 2022 attracted 350 attendees alone.
We look for speakers who speak to and support speakers and entrepreneurs in some way. You must have a confident presence, relevant content, high energy and a professional online presence to be considered. If you want help with any of this prior to applying please sign up for the Free Speaker Planning Session we offer to members now, don’t wait. Speaking opportunities are often booked months in advance.
When you join the ISN (for free, no fees), you become part of the family and the Organizer, Katrina Sawa, will share your upcoming events, webinars, launches and speaking gigs out to members in emails when you submit short blurbs. Join and you’ll get more info on how to do this!
In 2023, the ISN has over 100 speaking opportunities available to qualified speakers. We will host 3-4 virtual speaking summits for education for speakers and opportunities for networking, collaboration and sales.
