The Speaking Club: Mastering the Art of Public Speaking The Secrets to Running Successful Events & Getting Booked to Speak at Them! With Debbie Bell - 130
It was while Vicky and Debbie were working for a large event management company when they realised there was a gap in the market for an agency that would deliver inspiring events to help clients achieve their goals...so they decided to start ZiaBia.
That was in 2012 and they are still going strong, despite the current challenges. They and their team have delivered a range of events internationally for some of the biggest charities and organisations, from small, intimate affairs to large conferences with thousands of delegates.
As many of you are creating your own events, I thought it would be useful to explore what makes an event successful. Of course, I couldn’t miss the opportunity to get the lowdown on what event organisers are looking for in speakers too!
Make sure you listen to find out what you need to have in place and deliver to get more bookings, whether it’s a virtual event or a live one.
Enjoy!
