Speak or Treat NSA Carolinas 2026 Fall Retreat

Real talk: this industry has some genuinely scary stuff going on right now. Getting lost in a sea of "content creators." Wondering if AI is coming for your keynote. Staring down a bank account and wondering where next month's revenue is even coming from.

Good news: we're not tiptoeing around any of it. We're facing those monsters head-on.

Speak or Treat, NSA Carolinas' first retreat of the year, walks straight into the haunted house and turns on the lights — October 25–27 at Embassy Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort, Kingston Plantation. Three days, real working sessions, laptops out, sleeves up and LOTS of fun. You leave with something built, not a tote bag full of notes you'll never read.

Oh, and your emcee? NSAC's own Craig Collin. Stand-up comedian. Professional speaker. Six-time cancer survivor. Father of two teenagers. Frankly, keeping a room full of speakers on schedule might be the easiest thing he's ever done.

Pricing:

• Member: $220 (or just $190 if you register by August 31 — early bird, baby!)

• Monday only: $130

• Brand new to NSAC? $380 gets you in the door AND makes you a member.

And because every great retreat deserves an equally great setting...

This year's home base is the Embassy Suites by Hilton Myrtle Beach Oceanfront Resort at Kingston Plantation. Think ocean views, beach walks between sessions, multiple pools, on-site dining, and plenty of space to continue the conversations long after the day's workshops wrap up.

We've secured a special room block just for Speak or Treat attendees:
$199/night(available through Sept 24th, 2026)
