What to Expect

Event Details

Friday November 5 at 6:00 - 8:00 PM (ET) AND

Saturday, November 6, 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM (ET)

This event will take place using Hopin, a virtual conference platform, allowing us to have a LIVE event!

Hopin has features for networking, breakout sessions, a main stage, and even an expo area. There are also chat boxes and many other ways to create community and connection.

We are looking for a 25 minute presentation from you. It will be delivered live to our attendees. 

Promotion

We would absolutely love your help promoting this awesome and value-packed event. But we would never require it of you.

We will provide images, graphics, email copy, and social media post ideas to make it as easy for you as possible to spread the word.

The conference is free which makes it super easy to promote it to your audience. There is a fabulous paid upgrade available for recordings, bonuses, and extra resources for the event.

Pre-Summit Interaction

Prior to the summit, we will have TWO pop-up Facebook Groups!

The first group is exclusively for you—our summit speakers! Here, you can ask all your questions, meet other speakers, get tech tips, and more!

The other group will be fore conference attendees. In this group, we will be focused on building community and connection.

We invite you to be an active member of both groups! It's an opportunity to build relationships.

Your Commitment

1. Basic Information

We will need your basic information so we can share all about you with our conference attendees.

We will ask for your name, contact info, proposed session title and description, a short bio and headshot, and a speaker agreement.

2. Presentation

We are looking for energetic, inspiring, action-oriented presentations.

A format that works really well is to lead attendees through the process of seeing their need and finding a solution. 

It may look like this:

• Share a realistic transformation. After this session you will no longer __________ because you will know how to ___________.
• Emphasize the need. Why does the attendee need to know this information?
• Teach the stuff. I know you know your stuff. This is where you get to share your expertise with our attendees.
• Keep it relevant. You have sat glassy-eyed during a dull and boring presentation. Keep yours relevant by engaging the attendees with questions via the chat.
• The action step. Recap the ONE key thing attendees can do today to experience the transformation you promised at the beginning.

3. Worksheet

As part of the All Access pass upgrade, we will be providing a workbook with note-taking space for each presentation.

We will need an outline from you which we make super easy to share with us.

4. Promotion

We strongly encourage you to promote the conference with your audience.

We will make it easy for you with awesome graphics and easy-to-edit copy for emails and social media posts.

We will begin promotion on October 18.

5. Tech Checks

Because this is a LIVE summit, we will require a tech check with each speaker during the week leading up to the event.

We will make sure you can access the platform, your mic and video work, and we will be looking at your setting and lighting.

We aren't expecting an entire production studio right in your bedroom but often there are a few easy tweaks we can make to help you look and sound your best!

6. Live Participation

AND because this is a LIVE summit, we will require you to be available at your scheduled presentation time.

You don't need to participate in the entire event, but speakers often have such a great time that they choose to stay. The more you participate, the more you will gain visibility and credibility with our attendees.

Your Opportunities

1. A free expo booth to promote your business or ministry (valued at $150)

We want to offer you an opportunity to share your lead magnet or low-end product with our conference attendees. This is a great way to add new faces to your list.

The process is super simple to set up. You will need to fill out a form (you'll get a link). You will need a 30-45 second video introducing yourself and your resource, you logo, and a link to a landing page.

2. Access to the complete recordings of the event and bonuses available through the All Access Pass upgrade (valued at $99)

You will get access to the complete recordings of the conference. We will also make sure you get access to the amazing bonuses available through the All Access Pass upgrade.

So don't worry if you can't make the entire conference life, you can go back and listen at your convenience.

Our bonus list will be super valuable and we hope that you will be blessed by receiving it!

3. Opportunity to grow your email list 

You will have the opportunity to share your lead magnet in an expo booth. Many times attendees will want to know how they can connect with you. Don't hesitate to share ways to connect.

You may have just the insight they need in this season of life. Make sure you are ready to connect with them.

4. Re-use your presentation recording in the future

You will receive a recording of your presentation and are free to use it as you wish! Use it for your own promotion, as a tool for your audience, create Audiograms, or otherwise repurpose your content. 

5. Exposure and visibility

We will include your picture in our promotion efforts and will link to your website and social profiles from our  website. You gain exposure throughout the entire promotion period and during the event itself.

The more you interact within the pre-conference Facebook group and within the conference platform, the more exposure you will gain as an expert in your field. 

6. Affiliate commission of 40% for anyone who purchases using your unique link

We are excited to offer a generous affiliate program with our conference tickets. Simply sign up to be an affiliate, grab your unique link, and share with your friends and audience.

We will do the rest! We will track any sales that come from your link and will provide a payout to you via Paypal after the event. With our helpful promotion tools, this is a no-brainer!
