Your next high-value speaking engagement starts with knowing where to look—and giving the right organizer a compelling reason to book you.

On Wednesday, October 21 @ 12PM ET, join Jeffrey Hayzlett, National Speakers Association Speaker Hall of Fame inductee, former Chief Marketing Officer of Eastman Kodak, bestselling author, and Chairman of C-SUITE NETWORK™, for a practical session on building a stronger speaking pipeline. As host of C-Suite with Jeffrey Hayzlett and Executive Perspectives on C-Suite TV, and All Business with Jeffrey Hayzlett on C-Suite Radio, Jeffrey brings experience from corporate leadership, the stage, and business media.

He’ll share how he studied comparable speakers’ past engagements to uncover hundreds of potential opportunities—and how you can apply that approach to your own expertise. Learn how to research event histories, expand one industry connection into regional and international prospects, use AI to accelerate verified research, and approach decision-makers with a message tailored to their audience.

Designed for thought leaders, corporate officers, and established or emerging speakers, this session will help you focus on the stages that support your goals. Whether you want paid keynotes, access to executive audiences, or stronger industry influence, you’ll leave with a repeatable prospecting process and a 30-day action plan.
