Mixed Bag For Speaking

Want to use public speaking to get more clients?  Good news:  you will have more opportunities this year, according to the latest study out by American Express Meetings and Events Global Meetings forecast.

Interesting news:  companies are more focused on “value” (translation: cost cutting).  Another bummer:  attendance is expected to decline.  Meetings will also be shorter.

Prediction:  there will be a rush for low-cost speakers, using smaller groups as an excuse not to pay more.  My advice:  choose your opportunities wisely.

Other cool findings are in the report.  Click here for the highlights from Meetings and Conventions magazine.
