Members Only *VIRTUAL MASTERCLASS* BEYOND THE MIC: What Event Producers Wish Every Professional Speaker Knew

"What separates a good speaker from a true event professional?

Join NSA New York for a behind-the-scenes Master Class with Joe Guilderson, President of Corporate Audio Visual Services, and Patricia Stark, Dean of Master Classes, for a candid conversation about what really happens on the other side of the microphone.

Drawing on decades of experience producing live events throughout Westchester, New York City and beyond, Joe will share what professional speakers, keynote presenters, emcees and moderators need to know about working with AV and production teams, preparing for the stage, handling the unexpected, and delivering an experience that makes both audiences and event professionals want them back.

From sound checks and stagecraft to slides, lighting, timing, tech rehearsals and those inevitable “something just went wrong” moments, we’ll uncover the details that can elevate a speaker from talented presenter to polished professional.

“Because your speech is only one part of your performance.”
