A great way to increase visibility for your clients is to have them speak at conferences, seminars, webinars, and forums held by associations, event organizations, and professional and industry trade groups.

PRSA Boston’s Independent Practitioners Network (IPN) presents a top guru of booking speaking engagements: Steve Markman, President of Markman Speaker Management. Steve will cover the eight key steps to ensure your clients’ speaker program objectives are met.

You’ll learn:

• Why unpaid speaking opportunities represent a powerful public relations, marketing, and business development tool as part of an integrated PR, marketing, and thought leadership strategy

• How to research and identify the “right” speaking opportunities

• How to submit proposals to the event organizers – the formal and informal processes

• How to ensure the presentation has shelf life
