The Spring Launch Summit will bring together entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals for 2 days of networking, learning and leadership in our vibrant CIBN Connect community.
You will find our high level contacts to be fully engaged with their cameras on, ready to participate with feedback and interaction. Our chat lines will be open for booking appointments on the spot and getting a meeting from the meeting at every meeting.
Each of our Speakers will share the event with their own email lists and their own communities, and we will also share the event with our 100,000 people on MeetUp to insure an excellent turnout for everyone.
Speakers who promote will be rewarded with prizes and shout outs before, during, and after the event.
Our Speakers Are Members Of CIBN Connect (But We Guarantee An ROI)
If you are not familiar with CIBN Connect you may not realize that this is a members organization where our Speakers Level of member signs up to speak for our many events each year. There are 6 major events and dozens of smaller events that our speakers can speak at. Membership gives you speakers training, speakers tools to fill events of your own, magazine coverage (if you buy the annual) and a booking tool that is used on LinkedIn as well. Many summits ask speakers for a fee. There is no fee for one summit, but you do access many speaking events with membership.
We don't require that you have an email list of 5,000, but our membership at the Speakers Level will show you how to gain a following of more than 10,000 people with simple repeat steps on the social channels of your choice. We recently used these steps on MeetUp as a new platform and went from zero to 45,000 in the last 5 months. This is the kind of thing we teach our speakers to do.
The Speakers Membership is $77/month but there are 3 major benefits of signing up $777 for the year:
- $147 in savings or basically 2 months for free
- A full page in the Connector Magazine valued at $1500 and then another full page in the Bold, Beautiful & In Business Magazine valued at another $1500.
- We will market an event of yours (webinar, seminar, coffee chat) to our 44,000 people on MeetUp twice a year. It generally puts 20 to 40 butts in seats each time, so as long as you can sell this is a HUGE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK!
Furthermore we will guarantee that you make 3 times what you spent, and if you do not, then we will give you another year for free!
If you are not a Member yet and you have questions, book time with our CEO Kerry George.

Business Leadership +1Business Intuition +3Build Instant Trust with your Audience through Speaking (even if your knees are shaking)Danielle Benzon Speaking, Voice, and Personal Presence CoachSpeaking is the best, most authentic, most efficient way to reach and convert your ideal clients.
When it's done right.
And that doesn't mean writing the perfect script. It means knowing how to show up for and connect with your audience. It doesn't matter how perfect a script is if no one is listening. Connection comes first. And if you can connect, you can build almost instantaneous Know, Like and Trust, which means you've taken a cold audience to being ready to buy, just by showing up in a fully present, authentic way.
There are a few things that stop speakers showing up as themselves. Nerves and bad habits that we've picked up along the way can completely sabotage our attempts at speaking with confidence to create an impact.
Danielle Benzon will walk you through some of the most common ways you might be muddying your message and help you to step into your authentic confidence and charisma so that you can show up on stage and on camera in a way that engages your audience and builds instant trust.
