Hey there, Thought Leader! If you're already committed to or considering speaking for us, first and foremost, we want to say thank you — we're honored that our organization has caught your attention.

Since we know that a lot goes into your decision to speak at an event, we've put together this brief list of what makes the WE Inc audience unique, speaker benefits, and how to prepare for your event. We've also included a quick guide on how to make the most of your time (ROI) speaking for us.

If you have any questions, our full team is standing by to help. Simply contact us > and we'll route you to the team member who can best support you.

What Makes the WE Inc. Audience Unique

Primed & Ready

Attendees of our events are 1) paying members of our organization who attend our events for free, or 2) guests who are checking us out before deciding to join. While they range in age, location, and industry, they are all business owners committed to growing their business, so they seek out events like ours to learn new skills that will help them achieve success. 

When you speak at a WE Inc. event, you're sharing your knowledge with a group of highly-engaged notetakers who are ready to learn.

Audience Analysis Made Easy (We’re super niche!)

No more guessing who will be in attendance or how to tailor your talk to the mixed bag of attendees who will be listening. Our audience is 100% women, 100% entrepreneurs, and 100% focused on growing their businesses. Simply click on the View Members page of our site to see who is most likely to be in the audience at your event. 

You can even browse by industry or city and see information (pictures, business names, and bios) of the women who will be sitting in your audience.

Speaker Benefits

There's a lot of choices out there, so we want you to know precisely why speaking for us is worthy of your time. Since we currently don't have a budget for speaker honorariums, we offer our speakers the following benefits:
