New Initiatives

We believe that there is an abundance of potential speakers from far afield and close to home, even if people don’t know it. Our new initiatives are aimed at helping uncover talking points and help interested parties develop their presentation.

Webinar “I don’t have anything to talk about”
9am AEST, January 24

Have you set a goal to do your first conference presentation this year but don’t know what to talk about? Join us for advice on what makes a good submission and how to explore the thought process from “I have nothing to say” to working through and realising you have multiple topics on which you could present.

Speaker Mentor Program

Speaking for the first time or looking to improve your presentation skills and content?

We have some amazing mentors who are offering their time to work with and help equip speakers with the skills needed to feel prepared and be successful.

Just tick yes to speaker mentoring in the Call for Presentations submission portal. If your submission is successful you will be paired with a mentor to assist.
