About this event

At Women Talk Design, we get constant questions from both new and experienced speakers about getting paid to speak. Speaker compensation can feel like a bit of a black box -- how do you know if an event is going to pay up? How much should you ask for? What if the event organizers say no?

At our first #CouchConvo Women Talk Design speakers shared their experience and advice for navigating public speaking in the time of COVID-19. This time, we’re diving into the ins and outs of getting paid. Speaker Denise Jacobs will be joined by Women Talk Design Founder Christina Wodtke.

  • How can you approach conversations around compensation with event organizers?
  • How do you know what to ask for?
  • What techniques can you use to negotiate?

Learn from two veteran speakers about how to think about your worth as a speaker and ask for what you deserve.

Right now we’re all juggling extra responsibilities, family at home, anxiety, and other demands. That’s why Women Talk Design is making this conversation happen twice! Register for the time that works best for you.

There’s a small fee to help offset organization expenses and keep the lights (and videoconferences) on.

Come with your questions! We’ll see you soon.

The event is open to everyone. Please take a moment to read through Women Talk Design's Code of Conduct before RSVPing. You can see a complete list of Women Talk Design's upcoming events here.
