putting a fine point on the speaking industry
The NSA Conference:
The Real Deal
In celebration of our association’s
35th anniversary, the NSA meeting experience will focus on real
learning, real people and real
results. The gap between knowing and doing is much greater
than the gap between knowing and not
knowing, so the meetings team has created an event that will move people
from knowing to doing. By taking the
best parts about our workshops, universities and labs, we invented
a new concept called the
NSA Conference.
Get on Track
An incredible line-up of high-level pre-
senters both inside and outside of NSA
is committed to helping you design
your own MBA pro-
gram. You will have
three tracks from which
to choose:
• An intensive all-day track to help you go
deep on a single focus
• A mega half-day (three-hour) track
offered twice a day
• A concurrent session track with a
variety of topics covered in traditional
one-hour chunks.
Want to mix it up? Choose a morning mega session followed by a few
afternoon concurrent sessions. A team
of professional facilitators will be present in every session to facilitate actionable outcomes and support you in your
thinking about the ways you can make
actions become business realities.
To emphasize learning, doing and
networking, only two general sessions
will be offered. All meals will focus on
Our commitment to your business growth will start long
before you show up, and carry
through until you’re seeing
money piling up in your bank
account.

It’s All About You
Our team of adult-learn-ing experts, led by Bob
Pike, CPAE, CSP, the originator of participant-cen-tered instructional learning, designed
the Fall and Winter Conferences with
you in mind. We have downsized the
production and glitz in favor of facilitated learning and implementation so
we can Keep It Real. Expect the most
interactive, action-based meetings you
have ever experienced. We know you
don’t attend an NSA meeting because
you need to know more … you attend
because you need to do more.
The NSA Conference, which will
focus on you and your business plan, is
an investment for those who are ready to
take their speaking business to the next
level. We have created an event that has
action planning and accountability built
into it. Each conference has three stages:
