Have you ever wondered where speakers go to improve their skill and learn about their business? They go to industry conferences just like any other business to listen to other speakers talk about their profession.
Believe it or not, there is even a special association for speakers. The New England chapter of the National Speakers Association is one such group. They conduct monthly meeting as well as an annual conference for speakers. This year’s Speakers Conference will be conducted in the Boston, MA area on April 8th & 9th.
Some of the seminar topics that are scheduled are not the normal ones you would expect to see at conferences. A sampling of some of the topics include, “Racing Around the Exploding Star” by Alan Weiss, PhD, CMC, CSP, “Big Planet, Small World - Connecting with People in the Internet Age” by Jerry Gitchel, “Beyond Tomorrow: The Future Is NOT What It Used to Be!” By Terry J. van der Werff, DPhil, CMC, and “It’s Time to Invest in Yourself” with Tina Dupree, PhD, “The Chicken Lady.”
What are these topics all about? Professional speakers from across the Northeast as well as those who are looking to get into the speaking profession are expected to attend and find out.
In addition to the 5 keynote presentations that will be presented by nationally known speakers, nine other concurrent workshops will be conducted during the two-day conference.
Titled “Stepping into the Future” the conference will focus on two objectives as speakers learn on how they can prepare for the future of the speaking industry and how to help their clients step into the future of their industries.
The National Speakers Association, which has 4,000 members, is celebrating its 30th year of serving the speaking profession and the meetings industry. The New England Chapter, which is conducting the conference, is one of 36 chapters around the world.
Additional information on the April 8th & 9th conference can be obtained by contacting the New England chapter of the National Speakers Association at 800 672-8330 or by visiting their website. |
