Imagine a captivating Eastern European capital, a handful of other participants, and one of the world’s top presenters on the topic you are excited about. Welcome to the Global Speakers Federation Mastermind series.
Join thought leaders, CSPs, and professional speakers from around the world for an immersive experience designed to spark fresh ideas, meaningful collaboration, and real-world innovation. Through dynamic presentations, interactive discussions, and peer-to-peer problem-solving, participants will explore emerging trends shaping the speaking industry, including leadership, business growth, and the rapidly evolving impact of technology, particularly artificial intelligence.
There are 5 streams you can choose from - and only a handful of attendees in each stream. Your 3 days are exciting, personalised, and poignant. This is NOT listening to presenters. This IS you participating, asking the questions that keep you stuck, and adding value in the room to others. You will create friendships that last a lifetime and return home with a clear path forward and actionable steps to grow your impact and prosperity.
Seating is very limited, so choose your stream today.
Cost is $1,495 USD (Members) or $1,795 USD (Non-Members)
