How to get speaking engagements Get clear on why you want to speak. Listen to a lot of talks from speakers that you admire. Come up with 3-5 talk ideas. Prepare an outline for each talk idea. Build your event list. Slide into event organizers' DMs. Email your pitch. Turn your outline into a speaker proposal.
Invite the speaker to the stage. You can do this by saying something like, "Please join me in welcoming speaker's name to the stage!" or "I am honored to introduce our next speaker, speaker's name." Give the speaker the microphone. Once the speaker is on stage, hand them the microphone and step back.
