Thank you for the great event!
"Your team is world class and the attendees had a beautiful connection with each other and with you. I appreciate your time and effort and am grateful to have been included."
Dr. Andrew Goldsmith
The accessibility of the planners and thoughtful approach to networking meant we were truly on the radar.
"This was a fantastic way to be scouted! DSIx was such a fantastic way to be scouted. I even had an event planner reach out from watching on Facebook! Winning (Planner's Choice) and landing three speaking contracts was icing on the cake, because the real prize is the connection and support from all the other amazing speakers in this community. "
Karen “The OSHA Lady” Daw
What an inspiring event!
"I'm incredibly grateful for this fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow speakers and create a powerful 10-minute video of my keynote. The challenge of condensing my insights into a brief format was powerful, and I’m thrilled with the feedback received. Highly recommend this event. "
Ana Melikian, Ph.D.
This event opened doors.
"This was an incredible, thoughtfully designed experience that gave me the chance to share my message in a professional, supportive environment while connecting with meeting planners and fellow speakers. The energy in the room was inspiring! Most importantly, the event opened doors. I’m thrilled to share I’ve already booked a speaking engagement from this experience. For anyone wanting to grow as a speaker, DSIx Speaking Extravaganza is not to be missed."
Joy Lantz, RDH, COM, IBCLC
That's what I call results!
"Vanessa’s program was a turning point for me. I went from never having been hired to speak to receiving an invitation within a week. She doesn’t just open doors, she creates opportunities with heart, integrity, and a genuine commitment to helping speakers thrive. Her rare ability to blend business strategy with true care for people makes her stand out in the speaking industry."
Deb Shapiro, Founder
DEBx and Amplify Voices
An outstanding experience!
"Vanessa’s clear guidance and strong industry connections created the perfect environment for meaningful exposure - with meeting planners, scouts, and other professionals all in the room. As a result, I was contacted to speak at an event next spring! The Speaker Extravaganza is an excellent opportunity for both new and seasoned speakers to expand their reach and impact."
