What else is happening?

Among the array of talented and knowledgeable speakers we have lined up
for you are:

Craig Valentine, 1999 World Champion of Public Speaking "How to Keep
Your Audience on the Edge of Its Seat"

Mastering the art of speaking only happens when you learn how to keep
your audiences enthralled with your speech while providing them with a
message that sticks. Learning to do this will give you a significant
edge in your business and personal life.

In this fast-paced entertaining workshop, Craig Valentine will provide
you with the tools necessary to keep your audience members leaning on
your every word while you deliver a message they cannot shake from their
brains. The quality of your speeches depends on the quality of your
anchors. Find out what these anchors are and how to use them. This is
one interactive workshop you cannot afford to miss!

Conor Cunneen - Accredited Speaker candidate "Why Ireland Never Invaded
America (and other business lessons)"

Chicago based Irishman Conor Cunneen will present an insightful and
truly humorous look at business strategy. After this presentation, you
will know the answer to questions that have kept you awake at night
including Why Ireland Never Invaded America!! Conor Cunneen weaves
international business experience, mystical Irish imagery and the humor
which won Chicago Toastmasters Humorous Speaker of the Year with a
little (well, maybe a lot) of Irish Blarney to provide compelling
concepts that will help you grow your business.

And just what's an Accredited Speaker candidate you ask?!?

Toastmasters International's Accredited Speaker Program recognizes
members who already possess and regularly demonstrate expert public
speaking skills.

Only a handful of members have what it takes to become Accredited
Speakers and less than one-fourth of those who have applied for the
program have qualified as Accredited Speakers.

After successful completion of the first level screening, the applicant
will appear before a Toastmasters International panel at a regional
conference or International Convention. There, the applicant will make a
20- to 45-minute presentation (depending on the time available) and be
evaluated by an anonymous panel of judges consisting of five
Toastmasters who will have the final say on whether or not the applicant
passes this segment of the judging. Conor is here to be evaluated for
this phase of is journey to Accredited Speaker recognition.
