Speaker Friends Live: Practice. Feedback. Footage. Real Momentum.

Speaker Friends Live is where speakers can stop waiting for the perfect stage and start building real speaking assets now.

This is a fast-moving, community-powered event where speakers practice live, audiences show up big and supportive, and everyone leaves with something useful.

• Not a webinar.

• Not a pitch session.

• No awkward networking…we’re on a mission to get more underrepresented voices heard.

This is speakers helping speakers — live and in-person.

• Short, high-impact, interesting live talks (5–7 minutes)
• Use slides or not

• A real, engaged audience (yeah, this matters)

• Audience-captured photos and short video clips

• Two rooms running at the same time

• Speaking + audience engagement

• Coaching, feedback, and speaker support

• No pressure. No hard sell.

• Just real practice, real pictures, and real results.
• NOTE: Speaking slots sold out? We'll save space for at least one member of the audience (based on a live drawing at the event) to do their presentation too, for free!

It’s hard to get usable photos or videos unless we work for a big company, hire a personal videographer or land on a big conference stage. Speaker Friends Live changes that.

You’ll leave with:

• Practice delivering your talk in front of real people

• Visual assets you can use on your website, LinkedIn, or sizzle reel

• Feedback to help you sharpen your message

• New connections (speaker friends!)

• Speakers and subject matter experts ready to practice and be seen

• Event managers scouting talent without the awkward auditions

• Audience members who believe great speakers need great audiences
• Save and become an Innovation Women speaker member today. (Learn more.)

If you value collaboration over competition, you’ll fit right in. This is an event that is built based on the Speaker Friends mantra – we go farther together. Innovation Women’s Speaker Friend Fridays is a weekly virtual program that’s been running for almost six years (and hundreds of online meet-ups). This works because everyone participates — speakers, attendees, and organizers alike.

• Advance registration required

• We will maintain a professional, respectful and supportive environment

• Photos and short clips are shared directly with speakers for their use but they can also be used on social media by the audience member, with every effort made to tag the speaker.

• Grab your ticket and step into a room where speakers don’t just talk — they help each other grow.

Please note that some tickets are limited and verified roles and memberships are required. Register today to save your spot.
