069: What Event Organizers Look for in Speakers with Erin Smith

Do you have your eye on a conference or event that you really want to speak at? How can you get selected?

My guest today is Erin Smith, who runs the annual Entrepreneur Summit in Dallas, Texas.

We go behind-the-scenes into how event organizers select speakers, who they choose to pay and why, and what *not* to do as a speaker.

Erin shares what to include in your speaker submissions to get noticed and how to negotiate your speaker fee.

This conversation was very eye-opening for me and you’ll walk away with a new understanding of how to get selected to speak.
