This Is for the Person Ready to Step Onto the Stage
This is not for seasoned, high-fee speakers looking for a big speaking check.
This is for creators, coaches, thought leaders, and emerging speakers who are ready to share a message, build their speaking résumé, and step into greater visibility.
If you’ve been wanting a real speaking opportunity—one that gives you stage experience, professional recordings, and the credibility of being recognized as a Paid International Speaker—this may be your moment.

How It Works...
We’re selecting a limited number of speakers to step onto the stage during the New Media Cruise.
- Apply for one of the available speaking opportunities
- If selected, secure your cabin for the cruise
- Deliver your talk on board
- Be recognized as a Paid International Speaker
- Receive professional video content from your talk and official speaker recognition
Less than 20 total speaking spots are available across all formats.
Let’s Be Clear & Transparent
This is not a traditional paid speaking gig.
You’re not being hired as a keynote speaker.
This is something different—and for the right person, far more valuable.
You’re stepping into a real speaking opportunity designed to help you:
- Gain stage experience in a live setting
- Build your speaking résumé with a meaningful credential
- Be recognized as a Paid International Speaker
- Receive professional video content you can use to grow your authority
In addition, select speakers will be recognized with special awards, giving you the opportunity to be positioned as an Award-Winning Speaker.
We’re also working with industry leaders and experienced professionals who will help evaluate and elevate the speaking experience.
Think of this like contributing a chapter to a published book—it’s a powerful step forward, even if it’s not the final destination.
Choose Your Speaking Experience
Select the format where you can deliver the most value and make the biggest impact:
- Ignite Talk (5 minutes) — Fast-paced and focused. Share one powerful idea that inspires and sticks.
- Breakout Session (25 minutes) — Go deeper. Teach, lead the room, and deliver actionable insights.
- Panel Session (30 minutes) — Join a curated conversation with other experts and share your perspective.
No matter which format you choose, this is your opportunity to step onto the stage and be seen.
