  • Guidelines and confirmations

    Our meetings have four aims:

    • To demonstrate the very highest standards of speaking
    • To help members develop their professional speaking careers so they can speak more and speak better
    • To provide both speakers and delegates with the opportunity to make new and potentially life-changing contacts with like-minded people
    • To interest, entertain and give value

    It is our intention that our meetings always aspire to the very highest standards and we would therefore ask you to follow these guidelines:

    • Rehearse, dress and perform as you would for your largest and most prestigious audience
    • Please commit to the event in the same way – we take your acceptance of our offer to speak as a firm booking on both sides
    • Simply be perfect on timings
    • Please let us have a compelling title, overview for your speech/workshop and bio
      well-ahead of the event and before the deadline you are given. Please ensure that you talk to this
    • Please avoid overtly selling of you, your programmes or your products during your talk. Some Regions have “back of the room” tables which you can use. Seek the advice of the Regional President if it is a Regional Event or the President if a national event.
    • Please let us have at least one month in advance the introduction you would like the MC to use

    In completing this form, you confirm that:

    • In the event you are unable to make the agreed dates and times for your talk(s) you will notify the organiser as soon as possible in advance and help provide a replacement speaker if possible
    • You agree that the PSA may photograph or record your talk and use the images, audio or video in promotional materials, such as on social networking groups. You may request copies of any materials so that you can also use them in your own promotional activities. Equally if you do not wish your talk recorded or shared you will let the organisers know well in advance of the event.
    • You understand that the PSA will process your information in accordance with its Privacy Notice, and may share this information with providers of venue and event services, all current Regional Presidents of the PSA, and members of their committees, for the purposes of:
