CSP Roundtable Sessions

APSS is proud to announce another first experience in our association's history. An amazing evening is in store to learn from 8 full-time topic experts who have achieved the international accreditation of Certified Speaking Professional (CSP).

Among just 650 people worldwide to have earned CSP, they are some of the highest paid speakers and most frequently booked authors in the Asia Pacific region. With over 200 years of combined business experience, these veterans will share countless tips, insights and humour at our November APSS 'must-attend' evening.

How will the Roundtable sessions work?

With 8 sessions, you will choose the 3 speakers or topics that most appeal to you. Each Roundtable session will run for 20 minutes, in which the speaker will cover lots of tips and ideas. At the end of your first session, you go to the second session at a different table, and conclude with your third CSP session.

After the 3 Roundtable sessions, all 8 CSPs will form a panel for a Q&A session in which they will answer your questions about best practices, things to avoid, hot topics, and much more that will help YOU to learn and earn more in 2012.

BONUS: Several CSPs have new books and products that have been published recently. By attending tonight you will be entered into a lucky draw and stand a chance to win one of these bonus gifts absolutely free.
