What Makes a Great Event?

We want our attendees to enjoy watching your event as much as you enjoy hosting it! Successful events typically check three boxes…

Be Unique

Our community wants to take a deep dive into a specific topic that you know inside and out.

Offer Perks

Events that offer a perk (like the chance at a free coaching session) get the highest engagement.

Pitch Value

Generating the most leads from your event means preparing a highly relevant, high-value pitch.

How Our Events Work

Qualified speakers can go from idea to live event in as little as one week! We typically plan at least 14 days in advance to ensure there’s plenty of time to get the word out about it.

Step One

Profile Submission

The first step to getting in front of our community is to submit your speaker profile. This is simple introduction explaining who you are, what you do, and why you’re qualified. It should also briefly describe the planned topic for your event and estimated length.

Step Two

Event Confirmation

We review speaker submissions in the order they are received. If we feel your proposed topic would interest our community, we’ll finalize the details, like whether it will be live or pre-recorded. We’ll also review any products or services (if any) you intend to promote during the event.

Step Three

Team Prep

Once a date is in place, our team will work with you to prep for a successful event. This will include a preview of your audio/video setup and a plan of action for announcing and promoting your event. You’ll need to sign our Speaker Agreement at this point, which gives us the right to edit and share the event recording.

Step Four

Event Announcement

With all the details in order, our team will announce the event to the community and begin any promotional activities that have been planned for the launch. Complementary promotion typically includes a written introduction, custom graphics, and posts on social networks like LinkedIn.

Step Five

Go Live

When the time finally arrives to go live with your event, our team will support you. We always moderate live events. We can also help with the production of your pre-recorded event by having one of our team members introduce you, control visuals, and ask questions on behalf of the community.

Success!

Event Report

About 30 days after your live event or 90 days after your pre-recorded event, we will send an official report to you sharing information about the attendees and engagement. If we worked together to set up a tracked link or conversion pixel, we will also send a report to show the number of leads your event generated.

Event Guidelines

We’re flexible and open to fresh ideas, so don’t feel like you need to conform to a long list of rules. If you have any questions about our guidelines, we’d be happy to answer them.

How do I prove my qualifications?

Some of the ways you can showcase your expertise when submitting your speaker profile is to explain how long you’ve been in the industry, your journey so far, and why your perspective is unique.

What kind of mic/camera should I use?

We require our speakers present with a resolution no less than 1080p, but 4K is preferred. During the confirmation stage, we will check for visual and audio quality and help you troubleshoot.

Can I plan an event with a co-speaker?

We always welcome events with two speakers assuming they plan to work together to cover the same topic. If you would like to present with more than two total speakers, please let us know why in your submission.

What software do I need to use?

We will host the event using our premium Zoom account, so you don’t have to worry about time or participant limits. Our team will record the event and edit it for you.

Who will own the rights to the event?

You will own the rights to the event recording, but we will ask you to sign a Speaker Agreement giving us rights to edit and publish the recording.

Are there disallowed topics?

Some disallowed topics/pitches include content mills, MLM programs, and AI content generation.
