Speakers
Erin King
Erin King is a bestselling author and the CEO of Socialite Agency, a digital firm that has helped clients ranging from The Academy Awards to The United States Navy communicate more compellingly. Off-duty, she can be found creepily staring in adoration at either her Bradley Cooper lookalike husband or her new fur baby, Stevie Nicks.
Judson Laipply, M.Ed, CSP
Judson Laipply, M.Ed, CSP, has been seen on The Today Show, Ellen, GMA, America’s Got Talent, and in Tosh.O. In 2006, he became the world’s first viral video when the video of his finale piece “The Evolution of Dance” exploded on a little know site at the time called YouTube. It was the first video to hit 100 million views and held the spot for most watched videos for close to 3 years.
Dr. James Smith
For over 20 years, hundreds of thousands of people, both national and international audiences of all sizes, have experienced the passion, creativity, storytelling, unshakeable positivity, and mind-shifting power of Dr. James Smith, Jr. CSP.
Bill Cates
Bill Cates, CSP, CPAE, is a hard-working, successful speaker and business owner. He is a founding member of NSA’s Million Dollar Speakers Group and has sustained a seven-figure speaking business by becoming extremely focused on his business. Bill’s referral system has been featured in Success Magazine, Selling Power Magazine, the Wall Street Journal, and Entrepreneur Magazine. And his own business success has been featured in Money Magazine.
Gerry O’Brion
Gerry O’Brion spent his career working for billion-dollar brands like P&G, Coors, and Red Robin. He made TV commercials that sold billions of dollars of soap, beer, and burgers. Now, he reveals the secrets used by big companies to get you to buy and shows you how to apply those techniques directly to your business.
Candice Mama
Candice Mama is one of Vogue Magazine’s top 33 most inspiring women globally, alongside Nicole Kidman, Michelle Obama, and Malala Yousafzai. She was named in the Top 20 African Women by the African Union and United Nations, celebrating women who have contributed to building peace in Africa.
HEALTH & SAFETY
Your health and safety are paramount for us while planning our upcoming INFLUENCE 2021 in-person experience. NSA is in constant communication with our partners. We are painstakingly following safety measures from federal, state, and local officials while still creating a unique and unmatched opportunity to become a better speaker and build a better business.
While the safety measures are still evolving, here is a shortlist of the safety precautions we're planning for those who join us in Las Vegas:
- Requiring face coverings for all attendees, hotel staff, AV team, NSA staff, and anyone else participating in the event
- Limiting the amount of in-person attendees to 250. This space can typically hold 3,000
- Each room is being configured to provide at least six feet of distance between attendees
- Proper signage to help attendees navigate the conference space along with marked entrance and exit doors
- Scattered breaks and traffic flow to negate large gatherings of attendees
- Daily temperature checks before entering the meeting space
- Anyone who will not follow our safety guidelines will be removed from the event with no refund
While we're excited to offer the option to attend INFLUENCE 2021 in person, we understand that you need to consider your own health as well as the health of your family. If you're not comfortable joining us in person, we highly encourage you to still join us virtually. Our virtual attendees will still get a powerful experience and have ample opportunities to meet with other attendees, our partners, and presenters from the comfort of their own homes.

I’m delighted that I could still be a part of Winter Conference even though I was at home and I still had so many takeaways.
