Speaker - May 2011

Why You Have to Make Anaheim

NSA holds a convention every year. And every ear the convention chair beseeches you to go. Then, you look at the airfare, hotel and other expenses, and look for your possible return on investment … as you should.

So, what’s the real ROI you can experience by attending Influence ’ 11?

Arguably, the best return you’ve ever gotten from an NSA event. Really.

Influence ’ 11 is like no event you have ever attended. It’s going to be the most different event ever presented by the National Speakers Association.

Different not for the sake of being different, but different because times like these demand it. The profession demands it. And, most important, you

demand it.

If you are a keynoter, seminar leader, author, coach, consultant or other leader who influences the world—you need to be there. It’s about growing your business, becoming a better communicator, and making a real difference.

There are only four keynoters this year, so they had to be outstanding.

And they are. Four different styles, four different business models, and four ways you can reach success.

This year’s convention features four Master Classes, each conducted by a preeminent expert in their field. These divas and “divos” will amaze you, as they provide some of the most extraordinary training you’ll ever experience.

Then, there are the professors of
practical application. This faculty will

astonish you, offering you in-depth topic expertise in specific areas. Bring extra cash to buy some CDs, because you’re going to want to experience them all! We’ve eliminated the segregation of the staff and partner tracks, so those attendees can choose from the programs that offer them the best value and learning experience.

Of course, no event would be complete without fun, fellowship and entertainment. So we have all that. But the key word here is relevance.

You won’t see any marching bands, choirs, or circus acts. You’ll experience amazing experimental sessions such as NSA Tonight, Real Time, So You Think You Can Speak, and the Running Your Trap game show that will be engaging, amusing, and offer real and powerful insights into the speaking profession.

Each morning begins at the Contrarian Café to challenge your thinking. There will be no presentations at lunch, so you have adequate time for networking, making new friends and reconnecting with old ones. We’ll also continue the tradition of the Tuesday after-parties with music, dancing or the NSA Coffee House. There’s also a special Foundation dinner, where you can purchase an additional ticket to break bread with some of the rock stars of our business.

Of course, we’ll hang the medals around the necks of our new CSPs, induct up to five new members into the Speakers Hall of Fame and award NSA’s highest honor, the Cavett Award, to one deserving individual. We’ll keep you updated on upcoming events, what’s
