How to be a Speaker
We rely on the community of our speakers to create an incredible event. This includes the experience the audience has during your session or workshop and also in promoting the event. We want to share the success with our speakers through a partner (affiliate) compensation plan. We recognize that some speakers may not yet have a large audience and so we provide a base honorarium or affiliate option. You will be paid in whatever is a higher amount.
- Speakers: Compensation is $200 USD OR Affiliate commission (20% of all ticket sales through your link ) whichever is greater. For example if three VIP tickets (at $350) are purchased with your unique links, you earn $210 USD. If 10 people buy through your link, you earn $700 and so on.
If you sell only 2 tickets we will stay pay you the base honorarium of $200. If you sell 10+ tickets, we will include a small Expo Booth at no extra charge. Includes a ticket to the entire live Conference. You will have access to a dashboard to see exactly how many tickets are bought through your unique link. - We provide training on how to tell your story through your session and workshop as well as how you can this event (and podcasts, summits and other platforms) to sell to your audience and new audiences before, during and after the events. All of this is available in our Speaker Centre. We also have special offers on our Partners who offer amazing resources for leveraging platforms, such as this conference to grow your business.
This is a community project for small business experts and mentors to connect with their audience. To help other small business owners, like you, discover new ways to grow their business, to pivot, to build resiliency.
We want this to feel like a community rising up and supporting each other. Want to be involved? Let’s look at what is currently possible.

What Are We Looking For?
There are three tracks for participants to find the information they need.
The conference is focusing on how business owners are creating the rules for themselves and changing the face of small business. How can we help business owners bring ease and profit into their business? Think accessibility, diversity, inclusivity, ease and joy
The second focus is for existing small businesses who need to look at diversifying their income streams, adding to their business or pivoting from how they traditionally made money. They might have brick and mortar stores or businesses but now see they need to provide ways to use their services without in-person avenues. They also want to diversify their income in the event that their main way of earning income is removed or impacted by forces beyond their control. How we do help them do that?
The third focus is for health and wellness for anyone thinking of or currently running a small business. How we do help business owners manage stress, find time off, create ease, add to their support teams and streamline processes to help them be strong and resilient. How we do we help business owners achieve that?
