Speakers
Be a speaker. You have something to contribute!
Guidelines
- There is no compensation for speaking and no special treatment for professional speakers, coaches or sponsors. Everyone is on a level playing field regarding the opportunity to present.
- Be prepared. Rehearse your presentation and make sure you are able to complete it on time.
- Come up with a short, informative and catchy title for your talk. This is the only information participants will have to decide on what presentation to attend.
- Available time slots are every 30 minutes, giving each speaker 25 minutes and 5 minutes will reserved at the end of each session to allow the next speaker to set up and participants to move to the next session.
- We will have LCD projectors and screens. If you use a Mac you will need a cable to convert to VGA.
- We anticipate being able to provide an internet connection for speakers.
- Do not make a Sales Pitch presentation. The point of your talk should be to educate, inform and inspire participants in topics related to careers, freelancing, small business or related technology tools. If you sell a product or service, please feel free to mention that information during your introduction about yourself or when giving contact information and web site links. However, do not make that the point of the presentation. If you are a trainer or a business coach then this would be a perfect opportunity to give a taste of your services to participants but make your 25 minutes beneficial in and of itself
- For example: Say you moonlight by selling a health product. A presentation on the benefits of your product would not be appropriate. However, it would be appropriate for you to discuss the issues and unique struggles involved in moonlighting or having a second job in order to supplement your income.
We will have at least 4 different rooms based on the following subjects. If we receive presentation ideas for other topics we may rearrange these room assignments.
- Personal Development (Managing Life and Work)
- Freelancing/Starting a Business
- Media and Public Relations
- Technology and Social Media

Title: Unique and meaningful jobs to help turn our joblessness and economy
around.
Description: If asked what or whom is responsible for our current economic and joblessness mess, few, if any, would recognize that WE THE PEOPLE were, ultimately, the ones responsible for not having become better informed nor engaged in our civic/political process to help prevent or reduce our current economic condition.
If so, then, WE THE PEOPLE, also have the ability and power to turn things around.
To that end, The EFFECT Academy, being initiated in Dade & Broward Counties as a pilot program before expanding nationwide, will empower and encourage civic awareness and activism by providing “Work & Study” compensations to 1000s of our students and attractive salaries to 1000s of our graduates for part time employment with the academy as part of our Community Organaizing efforts to bring new jobs to our area and to effect issues and policies.
This will help provide financial relief for those needing to bring extra income to their households and, for the unemployed, a means to help hold them over until they find regular jobs.

TITLE: Why Anybody Can Own a Business With Network Marketing
Description: Most businesses involve large start-up costs, and carry large risks. With Network Marketing, a person can own their own business, start it part-time, and build it to be a business that can have permanent residual income. Most people do Network Marketing everyday; they just don’t get paid for it. For example, when someone recommends a restaurant, they don’t get paid if the person eats there. Network Marketing is simply word-of Mouth Advertising.
