Last night meeting of the Jewish Committee on Scouting it was decided to have a story concert as a fundraiser. A synagogue has offered its building free as a venue. Would anyone be interested in telling. Date will be sometime in the Spring 2012.

Hello Gang;

So you want to know about my conference?  How much do you want to know?  Want to see the bones before the flesh was on it?  Okay...  Want to know why and what I decided and how I intend to pull it off?  Okay...  But first we all need to understand my stand on a definition...  Marketing.  I think to do this gracefully, I need to be inside a "Discussion Forum."  So right this minute this discussion seems to be between Miss Christi and Miss Kathy and me.  Are there any others who are interested?  Meet us in the Discussion Forum named "Let's have a Conference on purpose."

Thanks Christi U! Hope Buck tells all~

A Speaker's Bureau is kind of a management-agency that lists a database with profiles of speakers in varying specialties. Some speakers for example, only give women-focused talks, while others have broader topics.   When meeting or party planners, organizations, schools,  et al...look for a Speaker..they can choose to consult  a Speakers Bureau. And then it's a matter of finding the RIGHT fit. For example...a school would be hesitant to pursue a speaker or storyteller who specialized in mid-grade to high school where they were looking for toddlers-tellers. Like that.  Speaker's Bureaus also vary greatly from one to other. The pros are-your profile is in a establishment where among so many, you can get noticed and hired. The downside is--that your profile is in a establishment where among so many you might NOT get noticed. Also the $$$$ also varies. Some SBs you have to pay to be on their roster,while others take a percentage. I once had a brand new SB ask to add my name because they were desperate for peole and once they got established I was upset to see they had booked gigs...but not with me. grrrrrrrrr

@Buck: Kathy's right. Promote your conference here. Don't be shy. We want to hear about your adventure!

And on another topic: what is a Speaker's Bureau?

Hey  BPC

Conference? I missed  the info. Sounds like you are organizing one now? Elaborate? Where..Who...

After this conference is over, I am going to write a book about how to organize a conference.  What we have been doing and the results and then what new tools are out there for those who are willing to wade into the deep water to really draw a crowd.  Notice, I didn't say that I had "drawn a crowd."  But with 80 days left until June 16-18.  I am feeling like a new dad.  Stay tuned or just watch out of morbid curiosity...  Will I actually fall off the tightrope?  Why didn't he spend some of that money on a net?  Well, we will see, won't we.

SCORE can help... don't get a booking agent... join a Speaker's Bureau

Comment by Kathy Price on February 17, 2011 at 7:16pm

Thanks,Buck. Be great to hear the tidbits. I am trying to hire someone on commision to make cold calls for me and lead generation and email blasts.

It is VERY hard to be the booking agent..the secretary, the publicty.. the promotion as well as being the talent~

I am applying for a Mastermind Group~
