Meet the Experts, hosted by Merge Gupta-Sunderji, CSP
At CAPS V-2020, Meet The Experts is going to be the cyberspace power-charged equivalent of breakout sessions.  Two rounds, several from CAPS colleagues that you might not have heard from before - see the full line up by clicking here.  Each round will be 30 minutes long, chock-full of practical usable information, to help you build the business of your dreams in the post-pandemic world.  And then a third session to cross-pollinate ideas with others.  When the world shifted in March this year, many speakers pivoted their lives and their businesses with great success.  This is your chance to learn what they did, and how they did it.  These will all be in a live, virtual setting; no pre-records or recordings will be permitted.  So if you want to learn more, you have to register and attend.

 

Inside the Speaker's Studio, hosted by Chris West
Inside the Speakers’ Studio Segment takes you into actual CAPS members’ Home studio set-ups.   Where are you in the spectrum - Platinum/All out; Gold; Silver; or just loving Virtual Backgrounds.    Attend the session that you aspire to, where you will visit the studio set up, and then into a breakout room to further review and discuss and ask all your burning questions.   Inside the Speakers Studio will also feature a “panel discussion” with all our featured Speaker Studio presenters where the conversation and questions will continue.   Home studios are expected to be the norm post-COVID so why not jump on board now!

What Clients Want: A Candid Conversation about Professional Speakers in our Evolving Industry, hosted by Suzanne F. Stevens, CSP
Have you ever wanted to get in the mind and hearts of your prospective clients? Learn what makes them tick, what they are looking for from speakers, where they see the meetings industry going, and what role professional speakers will play?

In short segments throughout the convention, you will have the opportunity to be a fly on the wall. Bureaus, independent planners, corporate planners, and associations share what they want from a speaker, and more specifically, the role of the professional speaker in the evolving meetings industry. Each exchange will have a cross-section of answers from client segments to what you need to know. In small breakouts, we will dive into how to take those insights and apply clients’ wisdom to your businesses. All convention attendees will receive a comprehensive summary of WHAT SPEAKERS NEED to address WHAT CLIENTS WANT.

The One Thing I Know for Sure, coordinated/hosted by Kristin Arnold, CSP
The last article in Oprah Magazine was “The One Thing I Know for Sure” where she would opine about life, happiness, and success.  In this segment, you will have the opportunity to share your wisdom with our members.   In 5 minutes or less, in a pre-recorded video, share your perspective on the art and business of speaking.  It feels like the world has been overturned in the crises, but some things remain the same.  What is it that you believe is true?
