This is the final event for a year long competition, and one more spot to speak could be yours here! Several previous virtual events each yielded finalists who have won a space at this in person event by sharing a two minute presentation. We will have one more round searching for finalists at this event as well. Everyone who wishes to compete will get an opportunity to give a two minute keynote presentation to their small breakout group, after which a vote will take place. The winners of each breakout will get one more chance to take the stage. At that point, every finalist from the current event and the virtual events will take the stage, and one will be crowned the winner of Own the Stage Speak-Off 2024!

The winner will be crowned the Own the Stage Speaker of the Year, and will be invited to join Marianne on stage throughout next year. They will also receive a spot at an international professional retreat that Marianne will host next year, allowing the winner to add "International Speaker" to their resume. Lastly, the winner will be interviewed on "The Marianne Hickman Show" for yet another digital stage. You don't want to miss this opportunity!

Not at all! You are more than welcome to join our audience and enjoy the guest speakers and professional training that will be given in addition to the competition.

A general admission ticket is FREE! All you need to do is register. If you want even more access, enjoy additional trainings with a VIP ticket for for $47, and include a networking lunch event plus a party the night before with our Elite Experience for $297. Click here to purchase
