GET PAID TO SPEAK

Thursday, April 21st 1:00-9:00pm

Every year the NSA Mountain West Chapter holds a "Get Paid To Speak" Event. It differs from the normal monthly chapter meetings in its focus and format. This is a day-long training session with top speakers sharing their success stories and insider tips.

The theme of the day is 'Getting Paid to Speak' ...
so the individual topics consist of the many different things that
professional speakers do to make their businesses work.

The Goal: Learn to get paid, to speak!

The Get Paid to Speak event will be hosted by

Steve Weber – The Conference Host

Paid to Speak 2016 promises to be better than a box of chocolates!

Steve is The Conference Host for multi-day meetings and events. His message of personal responsibility -which he calls Gumption - is based on the life lessons from the movie Forrest Gump and his 15 years of being Forrest for the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant.

Eveyear the NSA MountaWest Chapter holds a "Get Paid To Speak" Event.

It differs from the normal monthly chapter meetings in it's focus and format.
A typical chapter meeting has 1 (or 2) featured speakers who go deep on their particular topic. Normal meetings start at 3pm and go until 9pm (w/ dinner break)

Get Paid to Speak events are a longer day ... it starts at 1pm and goes until 9pm.

But the biggest difference is that Paid to Speak events have a lot of different speakers who all present on one specific topic. The time for their presentation is 20 minutes. So it's a rapid fire event with a lot of energy and a lot of different perspectives.
