WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

Speaker Presentation Details

All summit presentations must be 20 minutes or less.

Presentations will be in one of the following formats:

  • Live presentation (limited spots available)

  • Pre-recorded presentation (preferably with slides)

  • Interview-style session (limited spots available)

If you have a preferred format, you’re welcome to share it. However, final presentation formats will be determined by the host to ensure the best overall summit experience. If you’re not sure what format is best for you, just contact us and we’ll talk it through.

Suggested Presentation Topics

You’ve been asked to participate in this summit because we believe you have something specific to add to the overall topic of the summit. (If you are pitching yourself as a speaker to us, please consider the following topics as a guideline in your pitch).

Potential topics include:

  • Financial and structural considerations when deciding renovating vs. moving

  • Decluttering and resetting the home for a new life stage

  • Switching to earth-friendly home maintenance and cleaning practices

  • How to find and evaluate sustainably made homewares and furniture

  • How to get a spouse or partner on board with making home changes

  • Caring for houseplants

  • Color theory and selecting palettes

  • Simple DIY projects that make a big impact

  • The connection between spirituality and home

  • Designing a home that supports mental wellness and emotional wellbeing

  • Creating daily rituals and spaces in the home that support personal growth

  • Designing a home that supports life transitions

The All-Access Pass

The summit is free to attend but we will be offering a paid upgrade to an All Access Pass (which we’re calling the Full Blueprint Pass).

When someone first signs up,

  • they have 24 hours to buy the pass at its most reduced rate of $47

  • after that, it bumps up to $67

  • once the summit starts, it bumps up again to $127

We highly recommend that you offer something to be included in the All Access Pass. Here’s what we’re looking for:

  • This item should not be your free lead magnet. That’s something you can offer all attendees.

  • Your bonus offer for the All Access Pass should be something you’d normally charge for, as a low-ticket item in your revenue streams.

  • You can create something just for this summit, or it can be something you already offer.

  • The more fantastic bonuses we include in the All Access pass, the more appealing it will be to buyers (increasing your commissions).

  • Most importantly, it will increase your ability to connect with your target audience and follow up with them in meaningful ways.

For every person who uses your link to purchase the All Access Pass, you will receive a commission. 30% for the first 15 people who sign up through you, and 40% for any sign-ups after that.

The All-Access Pass will include:

  • Lifetime access to all summit presentations

  • Speaker slide decks and worksheets (when available)

  • Exclusive bonus resources contributed by speakers

Many attendees choose the All-Access Pass so they can revisit presentations, take notes at their own pace, and fully implement what they learn.
