The MemberWise Network delivers over 20+ high profile educational events including conferences and webcasts each year. Our expert speakers include membership and association professionals (at all levels and career stages) just like you!

Speakers represent a range of membership organisations and associations including professional bodies, trade associations, consumer bodies, trade unions, donation-based charities, private members clubs, sports bodies, business associations, commercial subscription companies, loyalty/reward providers and political parties.

Check out this testamonial from a recent delegate which shows just how valuable your contribution to our events is:

“The schedule for the day had a wide variety of great speakers, including those who are clearly doing great work but are not regular presenters – and they were great! That’s what I want to know about – real life examples from the people at the coal face not just those who talk a good game.” Aston Ward, Chief Operating Officer, Confederation of Professional Golf ( CPG)

Why Speak? Let’s Explore the Benefits

For You

  • Speaking at an industry conference shows your expertise and commitment to the membership sector which is attractive to prospective employers;

  • This is an opportunity to challenge yourself by public speaking (as this is a really important skill for your career in any sector) and get constructive feedback on how to get better;

  • Put this activity on your LinkedIn profile and CV to position yourself for promotions and job applications;

  • Represent an under-represented group by being a high-profile speaker. We need more diversity in our world and you can be the change you want to see;

  • Build your professional network – an opportunity to network face to face with other membership professionals and other speakers and stakeholders, make useful contacts for the future.

For Your Organisation

  • Speakers receive a free pass to attend the whole event, and so will benefit from the a whole day of education and best practice to take back to their organisation. Speakers also benefit from a 20% discount on passes for their colleagues.

  • Organisations that put forward speakers outwardly demonstrate their commitment to learning/best practice. Speakers regularly use the experience to evidence professional development and organisations use the opportunity to provide evidence for accreditation schemes including Investors for People.

  • Organisations that send speakers can show their members that they are conducting ‘gold standard’ member focused activity and are proud to talk about the great work they are doing in the sector – success stories always make great PR!

What Opportunities are Available?

We have a wide range of opportunities available to suit your requirements and we can tailor our programmes to meet your needs.

If you prefer speaking to a smaller audience our seminars and conference breakout sessions are made for you. They enable more of an interactive/conversational speaking experience.

If you prefer speaking to a large audience our high profile keynote sessions will provide you with an opportunity to share your knowledge, insight and achievements at a larger scale.

If you would rather not do a formal presentation we can also faciliate interview style “speaker chats”, and panel discussions. We will provide as much support as you need to make the experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible for you.
