Informal Meet & Greet // "From Submitted to Selected: What Makes a Speaker Proposal Stand Out" by Kristi Fickert
Call Description:
Ever wondered what it really takes to get selected to speak at an industry event? We’ll go behind the scenes of the speaker selection process and talk about what makes a topic stand out, how to turn your experience into a session people actually want to attend and the common mistakes that can keep a great idea from getting selected. We’ll also talk titles, descriptions, co-presenters, why good submissions sometimes still get rejected and what you can do to increase your chances of getting that “yes.”
Where do you even start if you want to speak at an industry event?
What makes a topic stand out when reviewers are looking at dozens or even hundreds of submissions?
How much does your experience, job title, or previous speaking experience really matter?
Once you get the yes, how do you become the kind of speaker they want to invite back?
