We are excited to announce the NSA NYC Virtual Summit 2019 – Hosted by Joe Apfelbaum

Date: Oct 29th 2019 1pm – 5pm EST

General Admission Cost: $95

As a professional speaker, the most important thing you can do to get more speaking engagements is to build strong relationships.

Why? Because when someone hires you to be a speaker, they need to trust you to really be able to make an impact with their audience.

When we interview the top professional speakers and ask them where they get their highest paying speaking engagements, they confess that it’s not their website, SEO or email marketing. It’s Referrals from trusted relationships.

Want to learn how to build relationships? Join our NSA NYC Virtual Summit.

It’s on Tuesday, Oct 29th at 1 pm EST. We will have 8 of the top relationship experts talk about the best strategies to build relationships online.

Meet Our Guest Speakers:

Our Keynote – David Burkus

What if the advice we’ve all heard about networking and developing relationships was wrong?

In this new and startling look at the art and science of networking, David Burkus challenges many of our commonly shared beliefs about networking. Drawing on more than five decades of social science research into how networks work, Burkus has found that what the best networkers do looks a lot less like collecting business cards and making random introductions and a lot more like fostering authentic connections and seeking out diverse new voices. And he reveals how anyone can do the same. Audience members will this leave this keynote with practical and proven strategies to grow their network and to make their current network work much harder for their success and tactics they can apply at that very event later in the day.
