A Full 10-Minute Stage Presentation - Most showcases give speakers barely enough time to introduce yourself and share one idea. For example 3-5 Minutes (NSA), 5-7 Minutes (most Speaker Bureau events).

Three-Camera Professional Video Production - A multi-angle shoot with professional audio, lighting, and in-room direction. Perfect for your speaker reel, website, and marketing.

Professional Stage Photography - High-quality images captured at peak performance moments—ideal for your speaker one-sheet, social media, and branding.

Customized LED Digital Backdrop - Your talk is framed with a branded digital backdrop, giving your footage the sophisticated look of a national-level keynote stage.

Professional Makeup Support Before You Go on Stage -Ensure you look polished, consistent, and camera-ready under stage lighting.

A Live Business Audience - No staged clapping. You’ll speak to an audience of executives, entrepreneurs, and decision-makers.
