SpeakerSquareNew Speakers Club for Researchers Launched in Toronto, London, and Chennai

Toronto, May 6, 2016
A new forum to grow the speaker talent in the marketing research industry has launched in Toronto, London, and Chennai. The New Research Speakers Club, founded by Annie Pettit, PhD, will give researchers, statisticians, data scientists, data visualization experts, and other people from related professions a forum to develop their speaking skills in order to meet the growing demand for fresh and skilled speakers in the industry. This club is aimed at helping those who have limited speaking experience, and those who have never spoken at a major conference before.

Annie Pettit, the Founder and Chair of the Toronto chapter, said, “Our industry has many great speakers but few places for people who are starting out to practice their speaking skills before getting onto a bigger stage. This club is a warm and friendly place for researchers to learn from each other and develop their speaking skills without the fear of a formal venue.”

The London, UK chapter is chaired by Betty Adamou, Founder of Research Through Gaming and sought after speaker at major research and gaming conferences around the world. The Chennai, India chapter is chaired by Pravin Shekar, President of KREA and a thoroughly engaging speaker who has led various industry committees for groups such as ESOMAR and MRSI.

Chapters meet regularly for about one hour every two to three months, and offer attendees the opportunity to speak about a research topic of their choice. The zero pressure format will allow attendees to be listeners or speakers, as well as give speakers the opportunity to practice upcoming presentations or simply talk about a research topic that interests them in front of a group of like-minded individuals. Annie, Pravin and Betty will provide public or private constructive feedback to those who opt to receive it.

The inaugural meeting will be held on June 23rd, at 6pm, local time at all three chapters. More information about the club can be found on the website, http://NewRST.wordpress.com.

Well, that was quick! I’ve pondered creating this group for months, finally publicized it, and already I’ve had interest from another city to create a group there.  This is excellent news for our industry. We’ll soon have more researchers who are experienced confident speakers ready to take on an upcoming conference.

Stay tuned to find out which city it is!

Not!

Are you eager to take the plunge and give your first talk at a research conference? Are you feeling not quite ready for such a big audience yet? Well, this is for you!

Taking the mantra of “be the change you want to see,” I am starting a speakers group in Toronto. This group will be comprised of NEW speakers only, people who want to practice speaking about research to other researchers.  Along the lines of an “open jam,” the plan is to meet for one hour every couple of months. Anyone who has never spoken at a conference is welcome to come. Anyone who wants to practice speaking by sharing a talk of one to fifteen minutes can take the stage (rather, the front of a boardroom) and give their talk. First come, first serve, no proposals. It will be the most stress free talk you’ve ever given as everyone in the room will know how you feel.  

On occasion, we’ll use the time to talk about how to write a good proposal or how to prep to get on stage. We might even have guest speaker nights where experienced speakers come to offer advice and critique.

June 23rd at 6pm will be our first meeting.  We’ll meet in downtown Toronto though I don’t know exactly where yet.  Please use the sign-up form to let me know you’re coming and whether you’d like to give a talk. This will help me find an appropriate meeting space.    

I really hope to see you there. Please bring a colleague. The more, the merrier!
