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. In 2021 she was named one of 20 Black Women Entrepreneurs to Watch\, a Distinguished Alumni from her high school and an AT&T Dream in Black Future Maker alongside Lebron James\, Tabitha Brown and Sarah Jakes Roberts to name a few. \nhttps://nsasocal.org/events/april-17-2026/
