SUMMARY:NSA Austin: Tamra Gaines (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:https://nsa-austin.com/events/april-17-2026/ \nBehind the Curtain: A Planner’s Playbook for Booking Speakers\nFor over 30 years\, I sat in the buyer’s chair researching\, vetting\, and booking thousands of speakers for conferences\, associations\, and corporate events. Today\, as a professional speaker and coach\, I bring both sides of the equation. \nIn this interactive session\, I’ll pull back the curtain on how planners really make decisions\, what earns a yes\, what triggers a pass\, and how internal dynamics shift when one executive\, a committee\, or a board is involved. We’ll demystify the bureau relationship\, identify the collateral that is truly non-negotiable\, and explore how to position yourself strategically in a saturated market. \nBring your questions\, your challenges\, and even your one-sheets. You’ll leave with clearer positioning\, stronger messaging\, and practical actions to increase your marketability and build lasting planner partnerships. \nSession Takeaways: \n\nUnderstand the Buyer Mindset – Know how planners evaluate speakers and what drives a confident “yes.”\nPosition with Precision – Refine your messaging and collateral to stand out in a competitive market.\nStrengthen Planner Partnerships – Build trust\, credibility\, and long-term booking relationships.\n\nAbout Tamra Gaines\nTamra Gaines spent over 30 years behind the curtain as a meeting planner\, responsible for researching\, vetting\, and booking thousands of speakers for associations\, corporations\, and global events. She learned what separates a one-time booking from a long-term relationship—and how speakers can build a brand that buyers trust. \nToday\, Tamra brings that expertise to the stage as a professional speaker\, coach\, and author of The Pillars of Confidence. Her client programs focus on helping leaders cultivate influence\, strengthen executive presence\, and create an outer brand that reflects their true value. \nTamra’s dual perspective—as both the buyer and now the speaker—gives her audiences rare\, practical insight into how to stand out in a crowded marketplace and build a brand that gets booked\, remembered\, and rebooked. \nNational Speakers Association Austin members are FREE to attend. \nCost for non-members is only $25. \nREGISTRATION REQUIRED: Tickets below \nDAY: Friday\, April 17\, 2026 \nTIME: 9:30 am – 11:30 am \nLOCATION: Virtual (you must register to get login information) \nCOST: FREE for NSA Austin Members \n(Be sure that you have paid your dues!) \nGUESTS are welcome: $25.00 guest fee. \nQUESTIONS: speakers@nsa-austin.com \nSee you there! \nhttps://nsa-austin.com/events/april-17-2026/

SUMMARY:NSA SoCal: Quinn Conyers (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Quinn Conyers: Turn Conversations into Speaking Contracts\nhttps://nsasocal.org/events/april-17-2026/ \nMany aspiring and seasoned speakers struggle to clearly communicate what they actually speak about\, how their presentation transforms an audience\, or why a meeting planner should choose them over another speaker with a similar topic. \nAs a result\, speakers feel frustrated because they can’t confidently verbalize their value\, costing them their sanity\, stage time and the ability to serve audiences with their powerful message.  \nIn this engaging presentation\, Quinn Conyers shows speakers how to position\, package\, and promote their speaking services by replacing their boring and basic elevator pitch with a clear\, concise and compelling Verbal Business Card (VBC) rich with Luxury Language.  \nAfter this powerful presentation\, speakers will learn how to:\n\nVerbalize their value with an elevated “elevator pitch.”\nArticulate what makes them unique in a sea of similar speakers.\nMaximize and monetize conversations that convert into signed speaking contracts.\nRebrand their voice to attract not chase speaking opportunities.\n\nMeet Quinn Conyers\nA renowned Women in Leadership Keynote Speaker\, Professional Event Emcee\, and Corporate Communications Trainer\, Quinn Conyers has over 19 years of experience in her industry. \nQuinn Conyers has established a reputation for transforming the speaking and communication abilities of diverse leaders/executives across multiple industries\, giving them the courage to be powerful presenters\, excel in their careers\, and confidently address crowds internally and externally as clear\, concise\, and compelling communicators. \nQuinn believes in the transformative power of words and is committed to supporting leaders to verbalize the value of their vision and ideas in a way that’s clear\, concise and compelling. \nQuinn’s approach combines the latest in communication theory with practical\, real-world application\, making her a trusted partner for companies and organizations looking to turn up the volume of the voices of individuals in public facing leadership positions. \nQuinn is a faculty and founding member of the Black Speakers Network (BSN) and has taught Speech Communications for 5 years at Coppin State University.

SUMMARY:NSA Austin: Janice Litvin (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:Engaging Keynotes That Turn Audiences Into Leads\nhttps://nsa-austin.com/events/may-1-2026/ \nHow do you create a keynote so engaging that audience members line up to talk to you and event planners want you back? \nToday’s most successful speakers don’t just deliver content. They create experiences that spark connection\, energy\, and action. \nIn this highly interactive session\, keynote speaker Janice Litvin will show you exactly how she designs engagement into her presentations to drive audience response and generate real business opportunities. \nFirst\, Janice will deliver her signature keynote\, Banish Burnout™: Move from Stress to Success\, so you can experience her engagement strategies in real time. \nThen\, she’ll break down the specific techniques she used\, so you can apply them to your own presentations. \nFinally\, you’ll collaborate in small groups to generate ideas you can immediately use to elevate your audience engagement and grow your speaking business. \nAbout Janice Litvin\nJanice Litvin helps leaders and teams prevent burnout in their organizations. She does this through keynotes\, workshops\, and coaching. \nBefore becoming a speaker\, she grew up in tech\, from programmer to consultant to trainer and recruiter. \nDuring the 2008 meltdown\, which she considers a blessing in disguise\, she needed something new to do. So she went to the gym to exercise her body and her mind. There she found Zumba Fitness and that sparked her idea of becoming a workplace well-being coach and speaker. After a couple of years\, a client asked her to deliver a presentation about stress management by saying\, “We don’t want mindfulness or meditation. We want you to go deep.” Deep she went into cognitive psychology and her Banish Burnout program was born. \nEventually she wrote two books Banish Burnout Toolkit (a workbook) and Banish Organizational Burnout: 26 Tips for Managers and uses those to deliver more value and after-care\, as Lois Creamer often says. \nJanice is past president of her NSA Nor Cal Chapter and enjoys supporting her chapter by recruiting new members and filling seats. calendar \nIn-person Agenda (subject to change):\n8:45am Doors Open8:45 – 9:15am Check-in\, Breakfast & Networking9:15 – 10:30am Program10:30 – 10:40am Networking Break10:40 – 12:00pm Program Continues \n \nVirtual Agenda: \n9:00am Virtual doors open via ZOOM9:15 – 10:30am Program10:30 – 10:40am Networking Break10:40 – 12:00pm Program Continues \nhttps://nsa-austin.com/events/may-1-2026/

SUMMARY:NSA Philly Amplify Your Impact: Mastering Authentic Engagement & Influence
DESCRIPTION:Register: https://nsaphiladelphia.starchapter.com/meetinginfo.php?id=125&ts=1772726933 \nAs a professional speaker\, your message is powerful—but are you delivering it in a way that truly resonates with every audience and with all demographics in the room? In this high-energy\, interactive session\, we’ll explore proven strategies to elevate your authenticity\, engagement\, and impact on stage (and how to specifically prove that impact). You’ll learn how to dive into real conversations with your audience that results in each speech being tailored in-the-moment; you’ll unlearn “professional speaking must-do’s” from the past; and discover the key to audience members committing to positive behavioral changes. Whether you’re a seasoned keynote speaker or building your brand\, this session will give you tools to maximize your influence and leave audiences wanting more. \n3 Key Takeaways: \n \n\nThe Conversation Formula – Discover actionable “Audience-Driven Experience” techniques to foster deeper audience connection (not to just get your audience to agree with you)\, truly get into your audience’s world\, increase interaction\, and create lasting impact.\nOvercoming Audience Barriers – Uncover strategies to help your audiences get past their own personal barriers for not implementing what you are teaching from the stage.\nThe Proof – Learn how to help clients bring you back over and over again by proving the impact of your programs. And at least one person will get to jump into a “Seat of Opportunity” to put your new skills into action live in the room AND get immediate feedback.\n\nYou may have seen Mike Domitrz\, CSP\, CPAE\, quoted in Forbes\, The Wall Street Journal\, or as a featured expert on the Dateline NBC Special “My Kid Would Never Do That.” In the summer of 2022\, you have seen him walk across the stage at Influence as he was inducted into the Hall-of-Fame for NSA (the C.P.A.E.). For over 3 decades\, Mike has been one of the most sought after speakers for addressing sexual consent\, personal boundaries\, and reducing sexual violence. In the corporate and association space\, Mike is known for helping organizations lead with respect as the foundation to all they do. As the Founder of The Center for Respect\, his clients are the US Military\, Fortune 500 Corporations\, and educational institutions\, including some of the country’s most prestigious schools. Mike is known for tackling difficult topics that can be polarizing – through audience-driven conversations that adapt in real-time and are not scripted. His presentation can change at any moment based on the discussion he is having with the audience – whether that audience is 10 people or 6\,000. Mike’s ability to foster genuine dialogue and measurable change has led clients to bring him to speak for 20 consecutive years. In this session\, he looks forward to holding nothing back with you!!
