Because a sure way to build authority and prove your expertise is to share what you know with an audience hungry to learn all the things... from you
We’re not trying to lay it on thick or anything. You’re here. That tells us you already know the importance of building your authority… even if you work in house.
Maybe it’s your first time speaking at a summit or conference. Maybe you’re already at the top of your game and are here to share your nuggets o’ knowledge. Regardless of your fame, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure you accomplish your speaking goals at the Keys to Conversions Summit.
This is our inaugural summit and we’re excited to welcome speakers like Joanna Wiebe from Copyhackers, Amy Posner, Kira Hug, and the Merrymaker Sisters – Emma and Carla Papas. Audrey Melnik from Funnel Ventures and Prerna Malik from Content Bistro are also on board.
All we need is you.
When You're Ready...
Open Call for Speakers
We are excited to open the doors for applications to our inaugural Women-Led Summit — The Keys to Conversions Summit to be held January 6 – 9, 2020.
Yes, while others are coasting into the New Year complaining about how slooow the holidays were, we’ll be hosting the go-getters, the self-starters, the people and businesses that will roll into January like a freight train with no brakes and the throttle wide open.
These are the people hungry for your expertise. They need what you have and they will be lining up for it. In the early days of the New Year.
We want your expertise and we will do everything we can to help you make this happen. If you already have a recorded presentation that you think works for this summit, we’re happy to take a look.
If you don’t have time to create a video, speech or deck but want to participate, we can set up an interview style presentation to help prompt you for the important nuggets of information you want to share.
We will record all interviews in the next three weeks.
Once your application is in, you will be notified of your presentation status and will receive a link to set up an appointment within a matter of hours.
