Speaking Engagement is primarily a members-only community for engagement professionals — designed as a conference on engagement that never sleeps.
It’s built for individuals and teams who want to stay sharp, connected, and ahead of where engagement is going.
Membership for Teams & Organizations
Speaking Engagement is designed to be used as a lightweight professional development layer for your entire team.
Rather than sending a few staff to a single conference, membership gives your team ongoing access to ideas, conversations, and peers across institutions — year-round.
How It Works
A designated Account Leader selects the appropriate membership based on team size
Once enrolled, your organization receives a private access link within 24 hours for all members-only audio and articles on Substack.
Individuals activate their membership at no cost
We handle onboarding and ensure everyone receives full access
To support access, we’ll also provide a simple template to collect team members’ names and emails, ensuring seamless setup across your organization.
Memberships can be canceled at any time. Annual memberships are eligible for a prorated refund upon cancellation.
