ONLINE SPEAKER PROFILE (Basic Membership)
$299 annual fee
Listing your profile on our website gives you great exposure! This option allows you to profile yourself in front of event and conference planners who may be interested in using you for paid speaking engagements. You will have the option of managing and updating your own profile page or having us manage it for you. You will receive year-round advertising at a very affordable price. There will be a 20% commission fee for all booked speaking engagements. We do not guarantee speaking engagements from just being listed on our online directory but can provide you with an account executive if you would like for us to represent you. Your membership will auto-renew the month that you became a member every year. Get started by reviewing the “Membership Benefits” below and filling out the Member Application. If you have questions, please send an email to speakers@nationalspeakersnetwork.net and one of our account executives will contact you within 48 hours.
