What Coaching for Conferences Solutions Are Best For You?

Whether your conference has hundreds of speakers or only a few, I partner with you to teach them how to go beyond presentations to brilliant resultations. They WILL engage your attendees, provide meaningful takeaways, and drive event satisfaction. My conference solutions scale to your needs, event size, and budget.

Pre-Conference Solutions

Exceptional conference content starts months before the actual event. My pre-conference solutions boost presenter engagement, depth of preparation, and presenter confidence. Through a combination of training webinars and virtual one-on-one coaching, your presenters will have the support, knowledge, and tools they need to design and deliver influential presentations. 

Training Webinars

Choose from webinars on design and delivery, audience engagement, panel discussions, tech talks, hybrid/virtual presenting, and more. Webinars range from 20 to 45 minutes and can be offered live, simulive, or on-demand.

Visual Design Elements

Ensure presentations are well-structured and visually appealing by providing your presenters with visual design support. From review and feedback to complete slide creation, I elevate the visual elements of your presenters’ presentations.

1-On-1 Coaching

Take presenter coaching and support to the next level by offering 1-on-1 coaching sessions. I personalize each session to the presenter's presenting style, experience, and content.

I work with a wide variety of industry-specific and enterprise conferences. Including:

Technology
Engineering
Manufacturing
Health Care
Accounting & Finance

Your attendees rave how every session is meaningful and packed with applicable information.
You delegate presenter preparation to me, gaining you the freedom to focus on other vital tasks.
The review process is pain-free as the slides are visually appealing, well-structured, and in the right template.
Attendees applaud the brilliant presentations, and presenters are deeply grateful for the unprecedented pre- and at-event support.

“When looking for expert professionals to present at our conference, we promote our partnership with Be Brilliant as the real reason you should send in a submission. Accepted speakers have the opportunity to work with Patti and her team from start to finish on their presentations and speaking style. Be Brilliant is as familiar with the jitters as with the highly-produced speeches of the gazillion-dollar earners. I have seen Patti work miracles at the highest levels – as well as transform less-experienced speakers.”

Ruth Morss,

“We knocked it out of the park!! Our audience was engaged, and many said it was one of the best presentations they had ever seen at the conference.

Kimberly Brean,
Engineering Product Support Directorate, Raytheon Missile Systems, Conference Speaker

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I had never presented at a conference before, not to mention as a customer spotlight in front of thousands. I was nervous and worried about getting our company’s story across and not making a fool of myself. The presentation came together beautifully. The audience was so engaged! Thank you again.”

Kristie Parker
Sr Project Manager, Sage Intacct, Conference Speaker
