Member Showcase & Industry Panel (Chapter Event)

The NSA-NYC chapter is bursting with talented professional speakers. Our annual Member Showcase allows us to share these talents. What’s more – we will all receive valuable feedback from a panel of Industry Professionals with an expertise in booking speakers!

Join us to hear five of our national members present, followed by reinforcing and re-directive feedback from a panel of Industry Professionals with an expertise in booking speakers. The second half of the meeting will include a moderated conversation with the panelists, where we get to hear the straight talk on the speaking industry and how they personally feel speakers can help themselves and their bureau partners.

We are thrilled to present an exceptional panel of professionals:
