As a speaker whose paid engagements have tripled in the past 12 months I still try to leave 2 to 3 dates available for conferences and events in which only the cost of travel and related expenses are covered by the event host.
Factors that influence my decision to accept a date include (but are not limited to):
- if the host group represents an organization or association with whom I have not had the opportunity to share with in the past?
- does the overview of my various courses and seminars align with the group's interests in a meaningful way re is it a hot topic for which there is a strong desire to know more?
- is the event well coordinated which includes the provision of A/V equipment, post event ditribution of conference materials, an effective feedback mechanism, proper venue etc.
Once again, these are just a few of the criteria upon which I base my decision to accept an invitiation (all which are of course greatly appreciated).
