ALL EVENT TYPES

The NSA Carolinas Board works extremely hard behind the scenes to deliver educational and power-packed programming to help you grow both personally and professionally in your speaking.

Some of our events are exclusively for members only and other events provide a guest option so non-members can attend and learn about the value NSA Carolinas provides.

Below is a glimpse of what you can expect from our NSA Carolinas chapter programming throughout the year:

2nd Saturday Events
Join our local NSA Professional Speaker Groups on the 2nd Saturday of each month! These events are a great way to connect, share insights, and discuss the art and business of professional speaking with fellow members in your area. Whether you're in Durham, Charlotte, or elsewhere in the Carolinas, you'll find a vibrant community ready to welcome you — either in person or virtual. Check our event calendar for upcoming 2nd Saturday opportunities!

3rd Wednesday Virtual Call
Our 3rd Wednesday Virtual Call is open to all members and focuses on important topics relevant to professional speakers. These monthly calls provide a platform to learn, share, and connect with like-minded professionals from across the Carolinas. Whether discussing the latest trends, sharing conference takeaways, or exploring new strategies, these calls are a valuable resource for staying engaged and informed. Check our event calendar for details and registration.

Member Masterminds
Exclusive to members, our Masterminds offer small groups the chance to meet monthly or quarterly to track each other's progress, provide support, and hold one another accountable. These intimate gatherings are a game-changer for idea sharing, problem-solving, and building a supportive community. To learn more about creating or joining a Member Mastermind, email info@nsacarolinas.org.

Annual Chapter Banquet
Celebrate, reflect, and uplift each other as a Chapter Community at our Annual Chapter Banquet. Held in June each year, this event features keynote speakers, a banquet dinner, Board officer transition, and incredible networking opportunities. It's an event you won't want to miss!

Speaker Academy
Our Speaker Academy, held each Fall, is a fantastic opportunity for aspiring and emerging speakers to discover the fundamentals of speaking, grow their business, and get mentored by experts. This program is a stepping stone to greater speaking success. We'll be launching information early Fall to admit our Academy cohort!

"Week of Speaker Love" Series
Held in February each year, our "Week of Speaker Love" series offers a week of jam-packed events to help you “feel the love” from your speaker community. As February gets closer, you’ll see more details on our event calendar.
