    NSA Carolinas is thrilled to announce our Specialty Interest Groups, or SIGs, which are designed to support members working on a specific topic area in their speaking business. 

    Specific groups include:

    • Speaking on the TEDx Stage
    • Speaker Marketing
    • Book Writing and Publishing
    • Speaker Websites
    • Speaker Demo Videos
    • Speechcrafting and Design
    • … etc.

    So if you're working on (or even thinking about) writing a book, becoming a TEDx speaker, building or improving your speaker website or demo video, join our Book Publishing SIG or our TEDx SIG or our Demo Video SIG. You get the point!


    When you join these meetings, you know you will be connected with other NSA Carolinas members who are working on the same focus area and have expertise to share and help.  You will be able to learn, ask questions and get feedback on any issues or challenges you might be facing.  

    Each meeting will be facilitated by an NSA Carolinas member with seasoned experience on that topic area.  Connection is key and these SIG groups are your opportunity to form a community within a community within a niche functional area of the speaking business..

    SIGs meet virtually, are complementary and are for members only.  Huge VALUE ADD for membership! 

    Our "Speaking on the TEDx Stage" SIG will be held on Tuesday, June 20th from 12pm - 1:15pm via Zoom. 

    The session will be led by multi-TEDx speaker, TEDx speaker coach and former TEDx event organizer, Dr. Kevin Snyder - our President Elect.  Kevin has extensive experience with TEDx and his latest TEDx talk was just released earlier this year. 

    If you desire to speak on the TEDx stage or have already, then attend this TEDx SIG meeting to share your experiences and hear from others.  You will learn:

    • How to find TEDx speaking opportunities
    • How to get selected
    • What TEDx event organizers are looking for and NOT looking for
    • Tips on how to prepare for your TEDx talk
    • Insights on how to launch your talk and leverage in your speaking business 

    You have an idea worth spreading. It’s time to share it!  Hope to see you at the TEDx SIG.

    The Zoom link will be included in the registration confirmation and reminder emails.
