SUMMARY:Capture the Engagement - From Onstage to Online with Kara D. Kelley
DESCRIPTION:Skip to Registration \nKicking us off\, an intro by Rachel Avery on how New Orleans & Company works with speakers for NOLA conferences.\n\n\n\n			\n	\n	You’ve heard the AI hype. You’ve probably tried a tool or two. And you’re still not sure if any of it is actually moving the needle for your speaking business. \nJames Feldman\, CSP\, was in the same place. Then he stopped chasing AI trends and started using AI the way a speaker actually works — and everything shifted. \nIn this hands-on session\, James cuts through the noise and gives you the exact frameworks\, prompts\, and systems he uses to book more\, prep faster\, and deliver measurably better results for clients. \nNo theory. No fluff. Just tools you can use before your flight home. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA 90-day AI action roadmap built for speakers\, trainers\, and coaches\nProven prompt systems for marketing\, proposals\, and content creation\nAutomation workflows that free up time without sacrificing your voice\nReal business case studies — outcomes you can replicate and report to clients\nConfidence that you’re not behind anymore\n\nJames also brings chocolates. Consider that your first takeaway. \n  \n  \n\n\n\n			\n	\n	\n\n\n\n	\n\n	About Rachel Avery\nDirector of Convention Services & Events\, New Orleans & Company \nRachel Avery has proudly served as the Director of Convention Services & Events with New Orleans & Company since 2015.

No fluff. Just tools you can use before your flight home. \nYou’ll leave with: \n\nA 90-day AI action roadmap built for speakers\, trainers\, and coaches\nProven prompt systems for marketing\, proposals\, and content creation\nAutomation workflows that free up time without sacrificing your voice\nReal business case studies — outcomes you can replicate and report to clients\nConfidence that you’re not behind anymore\n\nJames also brings chocolates.

No fluff.
