Get more from your conference speaker: 5 ways I help conference organisers promote their events

Ask me to speak at your event and I’m all in to give you and your guests a motivating and memorable experience.

You can expect:

  • Live at your IN-PERSON event, live or pre-recorded (or both) for your VIRTUAL event
  • No death by bloody PowerPoint (in fact hardly any slides at all)
  • Real personal stories
  • Real strategies, from real business, that produce real results
  • No pitch speeches. Just value for your guests
  • Easy to work with. I’m here to help you make your event a success
  • Audience interaction and participation
  • Infectious Enthusiasm
  • Energy

But if you book me I’ll do more than deliver a speech. I don’t just turn up 15 minutes before the gig, expect a posh green room with champagne and perks, and then dash off to the airport as soon as I exit the stage.

Conference organisers love it when I get involved in promoting their events.

Here’s what you can expect when you hire me to work with you.

  • The talk
  • Me at your event all day
  • Teaser video
  • Social media promotion
  • Live video

The Talk

Although I offer more than just a speech for your event, the talk is the main reason you want to work with me. Keeping marketing simple. Fighting complexity in marketing. Putting together a content marketing strategy. These are the topics I can inspire and motivate your audience with.

But I’ll work with you to fit my talk to your audience. Let’s have a video call well in advance to make sure the talk hits all the spots want it to.

I’m your’s for the day

I’d love to spend time getting to know your guests, answering their questions, and simply hanging out.

You don’t need to hide me in a green room behind the scenes and pamper me with rose petals and champagne (I’m told some speakers expect this). I don’t have an ego you need to massage. I’m not the kind of speaker that arrives with only 15 minutes to spare, delivers his talk, and then does a quick runner for the airport.

You book me and you’ve got me all day.

Want me to have a one to one with selected guests? Perhaps run a workshop? Maybe chat to your sponsors and to the press? I’m happy to do audio or video interviews if it helps you build your business.

Teaser video

Once we’ve agreed on the topic of my talk, I’ll put together a teaser video for you. Lasting 1-2 minutes and in the style of my “RogVLOG” and “Marketing Made Simple” videos on YouTube, I’ll shoot it specifically for your event. You can use the teaser video on your website. On social media. On your YouTube channel. And I’ll share it on social media as well.

Social media promotion

In the run-up to your event, I’ll help your promotional activities on social media. Tell me the event hashtag and I’ll engage with your guests in advance. Maybe get to know some of them a little. It’s a great ice breaker. Guests love being able to see and chat to speakers in advance.

During the event itself, I’ll be using social media, mainly Twitter and Instagram, to tell people about my experience at the conference. Sharing photos, videos and quotes – all using the event hashtag of course.

Live video

The day before your event, or when I arrive in your city, I’ll broadcast live on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook to further promote the conference and engage with the guests. If there’s time, we can talk about putting on a live broadcast during the event as well.

Here’s an example from Content Experience in Serbia, June 2018.

Now it’s your turn:

If you’re looking for more than just a speech for your event I’d love to talk to you.

Belgrade Keynote Speech and exploring the City and the Fortress – RogVLOG27

I recently had the honour of being the opening keynote speaker at the Content Experience Conference in Belgrade, Serbia.

You can watch highlights of this great quirky and uplifting conference in this episode of RogVLOG.

But there’s more. I arrived in Serbia a couple of days before the event. You know what I’m like with travel! It gave me the opportunity to explore this gorgeous city, take in the sights and sample the food and drink.

So come with me on a trip to Belgrade.

We’ll check out the fountains in the City Square. Visit the Moscow Hotel. Explore the giant fortress in Kalemegdan Park which sits on the confluence of the River Sava and Danube, and check out the waterside entertainment.

For the Content Experience Conference join me at Share Square, meet the team from Represent, the speakers and the guests. Watch snippets of my Belgrade keynote speech.

You’ll also see my old friends Lazar Dzamic and Elise Quevedo on the speaker list. Lazar was talking about his new book, “The Definitive Guide to Strategic Content Marketing”.

I had a ball in Serbia.

Thanks to Represent for inviting me over.
