The Ultimate Speaker Checklist for Virtual Summits

Everything You Need to Know, Do, and Prepare to Be a Memorable, Standout Speaker (Without the Stress)

Saying yes to a summit is a big deal. It’s not just another event—it’s your moment to share your story, connect with a new audience, and grow your impact.

But here’s the truth: Great speakers don’t just “wing it.” They prepare. And the ones who stand out? They follow a plan that helps them show up clear, confident, and fully aligned.

Maybe you’re excited, maybe a little nervous—or maybe both.

You know this is a great opportunity to get your message out there. It could lead to new connections, more visibility, and real growth in your business or personal brand. But what no one really tells you is… it can also feel overwhelming.

You want to do your best. You want to sound like you. You want to come across clear, grounded, and inspiring. But between coordinating with the host, preparing your talk, promoting your session, and figuring out the tech—it’s a lot.

That’s exactly why I created this checklist. Because when you’re well-prepared, you show up differently. You’re not guessing what comes next, scrambling the day before your recording, or wondering if you forgot to send something important.

Instead, you’re calm. You’re clear. You’re focused. You’re ready.

  • A Straightforward Step-by-Step Plan

Why This Checklist Matters

Because summits can open doors—but only if you show up ready to walk through them.You don’t need to have everything “perfect,” but you do need to be prepared.

That’s the difference between a speaker who’s forgotten…And one who’s remembered, rebooked, and recommended.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • A complete checklist to help you stay organized and on track
  • Less stress, more confidence
  • A repeatable process you can use for every future summit
  • More time and energy to focus on your message and audience
  • The tools to turn your summit appearance into real growth
