Description

Share Your Expertise. Shape What's Next.

We're looking for speakers whose experience has been earned through real work, real challenges, and real results.

If you've built a career, learned lessons that can't be found in a textbook, and have practical insights that help others turn their expertise into a meaningful next chapter, we'd love to hear from you.

This summit is designed for people who know they have more to offer than a job title. Our audience is looking for honest conversations, actionable strategies, and the confidence to build a life around the knowledge they've spent years developing.

As a speaker, you'll have the opportunity to inspire, teach, and equip attendees with practical next steps they can put into action immediately.

If your message helps people recognize their value, clarify their direction, and move forward with purpose, we invite you to apply.

Who Our Audience Is

Our audience is made up of accomplished women in the second half of their careers. They've played by the rules, earned the credentials, and delivered results for decades. Now they're feeling that quiet ache that whispers, "Is this all there is?"

These are capable, intelligent women in their 40s, 50s, and 60s who look successful on paper but feel unsettled underneath it. They're the ones everyone relies on, and yet in the quiet moments they feel overlooked and vaguely invisible. They're proud of their experience but frustrated that they can't quite translate it into something modern, visible, and truly theirs.

What they want is clear direction, renewed confidence, and a way to turn decades of hard-won wisdom into something tangible: a business, a book, an offer, a consulting platform, or an authority presence that carries their name and their voice. They're ready to stop being the best-kept secret in their field and finally build a table of their own.

Are You a Fit for This Summit?

We're seeking speakers who can meet these women where they are and help them take a real step forward. Topics that resonate with our audience include:

  • Finding clarity on what a meaningful next chapter looks like
  • Turning decades of experience and stories into a marketable business, offer, or body of work
  • Writing, structuring, or finishing a book that reflects their expertise
  • Building a modern visibility engine: LinkedIn, website, and focused content
  • Personal branding and thought leadership for experienced professionals
  • Reclaiming confidence and stepping into a self-directed identity
  • Creating financial security and freedom on their own terms
  • Positioning age and experience as an advantage rather than a limitation

If you have a proven track record of helping women reinvent, reposition, and rise, and you can deliver an engaging, insight-rich presentation, we'd love for you to apply.

About the Event

  • Your Story. Your Strategy. Your Next Chapter is a public summit that's completely free to attend. Because we're not charging for tickets, we have a limited marketing budget and are looking for partners who'll share their content and promote the event to their audiences.
  • VIP Ticket Upgrades: The speaker sessions are free to attend. A VIP upgrade will be available for $27/$37/$47, which entitles ticket holders to receive access to event recordings and VIP gifts from the speakers.
  • Dates: The summit runs live from Tuesday, September 22nd to Wednesday, September 23rd, 2026.
  • Times: Day one runs from 11:00 AM ET / 10:00 AM CT / 8:00 AM PT, and each day continues through to 5:00 PM ET / 4:00 PM CT / 2:00 PM PT.
  • Format: This is a live summit. Sessions run live at their scheduled times during the event, delivered over Zoom. You can present live with, but typically this will be a live interview about your story.
  • Audience: Accomplished women in the second half of their careers who are ready to turn their experience into something visible, credible, and entirely their own.
  • Session Length: Each session is 45 minutes, including time for introductions, your talk, and audience Q&A.
  • Opportunity: Connect with a highly targeted, deeply motivated audience of experienced professionals who are actively seeking solutions and ready to invest in their next chapter.

Partner Guidelines

  • Relevance: Make sure your presentation aligns with the theme of the summit and speaks directly to women navigating reinvention, visibility, and their next chapter.
  • Content: Focus on delivering genuinely valuable content with minimal self-promotion. Introduce yourself briefly, then dive into teaching key concepts, strategies, or tactics your audience can act on.
  • Promotion: We ask that you promote the event to your email and social media followers. We'll provide you with promotional graphics, copy, and a personalized link. There's no penalty if you're unable to promote, though shared promotion is what makes the summit thrive for everyone. Ideal times to promote are:
    • 1-2 weeks before the event
    • 1-2 days before the event
    • The day before your talk
  • Restrictions: No promotion of paid offers or affiliate links during your presentation. Any links provided to the audience must be pre-approved. You may offer a free gift to the audience to grow your list.

Why We Value Promotion

Since we're not charging the audience to attend, there isn't a budget to promote the event using ads. The event is at its best when speakers also share it with their networks. When we all promote, overall attendance and engagement rise, and that benefits everyone in the room.

As a speaker, you have a wonderful opportunity to reach your ideal audience for free. Promotion isn't required, but the more you share, the more people you'll reach with your message.
