SO...WHAT IS THE SPEAK OFF?
After booking over 25,000 stages across the world, a few years ago I was challenged by my friend and mentor Brendon Burchard to host a live event.

That seemed impossible; I didn't have a list and had just launched my business to help speakers, authors, coaches, entrepreneurs, small businesses and non-profits learn how to leverage stages to grow their reach and their revenues.

However, I was hungry to take on the challenge; I assembled my team in my office and literally we looked at each other and said, "OK...we're doing a live event...who do we know?"  

We wrote names on the white board and started to reach out to them.

After a ton of phone calls and endless emails, we cobbled together 47 people to come to the first ever REACH Academy Live in November 2015.  

In the weeks leading up to the event, I knew I wanted something to be different.

Not just a great event with great content, but a unique opportunity.

I wanted something people would talk about for a long time.
And the Speak Off was born!
Fast forward 3 years and the Speak Off has become a smashing success.  This year, we expect over 1000 people to attend our 7th event. 

And here's a fun fact: We have a 100% retention rate of Meeting Planners that judge the Speak Off, event after event.

Maybe it's the content.  It might be the adrenaline.  Possibly the rowdy 
standing ovations.

All I know is the Speak Off is a 1-of-a-kind experience...

Sure, some conferences might cede the stage to audience members but I have never seen one that awards a paid stage to the winner (and the winner selected by a panel of impartial judges).

This is the highlight of our event every year...
And we want you to be a part of it.
Can't Come Live? - You can STILL join us!

We would love for you to join us live, however, if you can't come in person, you can still join us virtually for the Speak Off Competition. 

The competition is Friday, May 1st. All you have to do is complete the form here, and indicate that you would like to attend virtually, and we will get you all the details you require.

If you have any questions, just email us at katie@advanceyourreach.com.
