Share Your Expertise – Get in Front of an Audience

There are thousands of groups in the Chicagoland area looking for speakers for their meetings, conferences, assemblies and social events. How do we know? FreeSpeakers.org has been providing pro bono speakers for these groups for more than 20 years. Every day, program chairpersons come to our website searching for interesting speakers.

If you would like speaking opportunities in the community, you have come to the right place.

Consider:

Networking at its Finest
Imagine an event where the entire room of people pays close attention to you, and you’re presented as an expert in your field. Talk about effective networking…

Free Public Relations
Many groups send out press releases about upcoming meetings and the featured speaker. That’s free PR.

Marketing Yourself
Marketing is communicating, and public speaking is a direct form of communication.

Reputation Enhancement
When you’re presented as an expert, your credibility and influence grows.

Here’s what business coach Tom Kelly says about FreeSpeakers.org:

“If you’re a speaker and want to generate more exposure and business for yourself, FreeSpeakers.org is a must. I’ve been a speaker for FreeSpeakers.org for over a decade, and I can’t say enough great things about this great organization. I’ve not only had a lot of fun speaking but have generated some of my best clients. If you’re thinking that FreeSpeakers.org is about working for free, think again. It’s about getting in front of great audiences that can experience your expertise which will help you grow your business.”
