The Technology Special Interest Group (Tech SIG) focuses on the “nuts and bolts” of implementing and optimizing tools and technology for your speaking business.  Complimenting the Sales SIG, which often spotlights the “what” and “why”, the Tech SIG spotlights the “how”.  Meetings highlight a single topic with a guest presenter, then offer a short “members helping members” open question & answer session.

 

The Tech SIG meets virtually on the 1st Wednesday of each month 4-5pm PST. This month...

The Practitioner’s Path: How I Use AI to Increase Time Freedom 

Let’s be honest: Most of us didn't become professional speakers because we loved administrative work, content scheduling, or research. We did it for the stage. But the business of speaking can quickly become a 24/7 grind of mundane tasks... that eats at your happiness. 

I’m not an AI developer or a silicon-valley tech expert. I’m a speaker, just like you. And I’ve found a way to use AI to handle the heavy lifting so I can focus on my craft.

In this session, I’m pulling back the curtain on my actual business. I’ll show you the exact tools I use every day to automate the "boring stuff," streamline my sales, and protect my most valuable asset: my time. No fluff, no complex coding—just a practical look at how I’ve integrated AI into my workflow to get my life back.

What We’ll Cover:
My "Essential AI Stack": A few simple tools I use daily (and why I chose them over the hundreds of others).

The "Meeting to Marketing" Pipeline: How I turn a single Zoom call or speech into a month’s worth of content without hiring a social media manager.

Email & Inbox Sanity: How I use AI to draft outreach, handle inquiries, and stop the "inbox overwhelm."

Research in Seconds: How I prepare for client calls and customize my presentations using AI as my personal research assistant.

The "Good Enough" Rule: Why you don't need to be a "prompt engineer" to get 80% of the benefit from AI.

The Transformation:
You’ll leave this session with a list of "plug-and-play" tools and a better understanding of why AI is awesome. 

Why This Session is Different
"I speak 'Speaker,' not 'Code.'" This isn't a high-level theory session. It’s a "show and tell" of a working speaker's business. If I can use it, you can too.
