SUMMARY:Building Your Speaker Business Strong in 2026 with Thom Singer\, CSP
DESCRIPTION:Skip to Registration \nRegardless of if you are a seasoned speaker\, or a new speaker…. the world of speaking is going through changes.\nAnd being aware of the ups and downs of a long-term speaking business will keep you growing in any economy. Every speaker faces setbacks – whether it’s a changing market\, a career slowdown\, a personal challenge\, or a global pandemic that disrupts momentum. The real question isn’t if a rough patch will happen\, but how to bounce back stronger. \nThis is a session that dives into the essential strategies for building a speaking business with confidence\, clarity\, and a fresh game plan. Learn how to reposition for today’s market\, re-engage past clients and industry connections without feeling desperate\, and create a more profitable\, resilient business model that isn’t solely dependent on speaking fees. Whether starting over or preparing for future shifts\, this session provides the tools to thrive\, not just survive. \nWho is Thom Singer\, CSP?\nThom Singer\, CSP\, has spent over 19 years as a professional speaker\, delivering more than 1\,000 presentations for companies\, associations\, and conferences. Known for his expertise in human interaction\, business relationships\, and reputation-building\, Thom has built a career on stage that blends humor\, storytelling\, and actionable content. \nLike many in our profession\, Thom’s speaking business was deeply impacted by the pandemic. With his referral-driven pipeline nearly wiped out\, he faced the daunting challenge of rebuilding from the ground up. Instead of giving up\, he doubled down\, taking on a leadership role as CEO of a nonprofit\, sharpening his brand\, expanding his revenue streams\, and staying connected to the speaking world while reinventing his business for a new era. \nToday\, Thom is once again on stages (45 presentations in 2025)\, consulting with organizations\, and guiding business professionals through their own journeys. \nHe’s a longtime member of NSA\, founding host of the “Speakernomics” podcast (and back in the host chair some of the time in 2026)\, and someone who believes that reinvention is easier when you surround yourself with good people who have your back (and vise versa). \n  \nLOCATION:\nThe Foundation Room at OnPath FCU \n3131 North I-10 Service Road\nMetairie\, LA\, 70002\n \nPlease RSVP and let us know if you plan to attend! \n\nRegister
