Speaker Slam® is a Speaker Development Agency. One stage. One speech. A ripple that changes everything. See how it all works.
Speaker Slam® is North America's largest inspirational speaking competition. Every two months in Toronto, 10 speakers deliver a 5-minute speech on a powerful theme, competing before 4 industry judges and 200+ audience members.
For 10 years, speakers have used this stage to launch TEDx talks, land book deals, build paid speaking careers, and spark movements that reach millions. Your resume doesn't matter here. Your story does.
"Winning the Brand Builder Competition was a pivotal moment in my career. It allowed me to step outside my comfort zone and accelerate my speaking career. Speaker Slam® is the launchpad for my speaking career."
"I got accepted to my dream TEDx location in Halifax. And I booked a full-fee keynote for the Canadian Media Awards because the president was there when I spoke at two Speaker Slam® events."
"I'm now a full time professional speaker and it all started with Speaker Slam®."
"After speaking on Speaker Slam® things changed quite a lot for me. I've been on a lot of television segments, speaking on other stages, and building up my business and my somatic coaching practice with parents across the country."
"It literally changed my life. Between Dan and his publicity and training, and Rina and her skills and Momentum classes, I've had TV appearances, radio, magazine articles, and now Grand Slam."
"Joining Momentum has been a game-changer for me. Thanks to Speaker Slam®, I'm now an award-winning speaker, and I owe much of my growth to the skills and confidence I've gained through their classes."
"It has completely changed the entire trajectory of my speaking career. I'm speaking on stages across the country, in the US, and even in the EU."
"The first opportunity that came up was a paid speaking gig. Speaker Slam® is a launching pad. It gives you the belief that you belong on the stage."
