Join Events

If you like speaking, search up for events. Notice which ones seem to be recurring, and seem to have speakers. Focus on attending couple of them. After warming up your feet, go and ask the speakers how they got this gig, and ask the organizers if they need any more speakers.

 

Start a Business Event
