Read the news article
We’re thrilled to bring back our Speakers Inc Virtual Speaker Showcase in 2026 and this edition is proudly focused on spotlighting the exceptional speaker talent emerging from South Africa.
This isn’t just another webinar. It’s a curated, high-production showcase designed to present dynamic speakers to the people who book them such as corporate event planners, conference organisers, and decision-makers looking for fresh voices and proven communicators.
Each selected speaker will take part in a professionally pre-recorded segment that includes a 10-minute presentation, followed by a relaxed fireside-style conversation with a live MC, filmed in advance. This structure allows us to ensure every segment is polished, engaging, and tailored for the corporate events market.
Rather than hosting one-time live sessions, we take the final video content and use it strategically distributing it directly to our network of corporate buyers, agency partners, and our top 100 client database. Your presentation becomes part of a powerful marketing asset, sent with purpose to the right people.
If you’ve ever wanted to raise your profile with decision-makers who actually book speakers and have a professional video segment to use long after the event, this is your opportunity.
Applications Are Now Open
We’re currently inviting applications from South African-based speakers working across a range of industries. Whether you’re a keynote speaker, industry expert, or rising thought leader, this showcase is built to elevate your visibility with the people who matter most.
There is no cost to apply, and all applications will be carefully reviewed by our team. If selected, a participation fee of $250 will be required to secure your place. This nominal fee helps cover production costs, speaker support, and direct promotional efforts to our targeted client base.
We’ll support you through every step, from preparing your content to filming and final delivery. The result? You will also have access to the raw footage so you can use for your own marketing, and exposure that continues long after the “event” is over.
Ready to apply?
APPLY HERE
Applications close on 7th November 2025, and spaces are limited. Don’t miss your chance to be part of South Africa’s most intentional, content-driven speaker showcase in 2026.
The Summer 2026 Speakers Inc Virtual Speaker Showcaseacross North America will feature a limited lineup of just 12 speakers. This allows us to maintain a high level of production quality, ensure every speaker receives dedicated promotional support, and deliver real value to the corporate buyers who’ll be watching.
By keeping the showcase focused and curated, we’re able to match the right speakers with the right opportunities and make each segment count.
So if you’re ready to be part of something impactful, timely, and designed with corporate visibility in mind now’s your moment.
Let’s position your voice where it can make the biggest impact, directly in front of the people who are ready to book.
