01  WHERE YOU ARE NOW

## This is for you if

✓  You've thought "I could give a talk on this"  
✓  You've done the work and have the results  
✓  You keep finding a reason to wait

The good slots for early 2027 conferences close in the next two months. Most people never even see them. And the ones who do often find a reason to wait for the next one. There's always a next one. Until there isn't.

02  WHAT CHANGES

## Get clear on what to pitch, and ready to actually send it

How review committees actually score submissions, how to pitch so yours stands out, and how to move anyway when the imposter voice says you're not ready.

That feeling doesn't mean you're not ready. It means you care. The goal was never to get rid of it. It's to **JFDI** anyway.

**Save your seat**

You'll get a calendar invite right away. Can't make it live? Register anyway and we'll send you the recording.

03  WHAT YOU LEAVE WITH

## Leave with your bio written and your first CFP picked

Lexi demos two Claude-powered tools live, using your topic.

| **Speaker Bio Builder** Interviews you, then writes a bio in your own words, calibrated to whatever you're pitching. | **CFP Finder** Searches for active, verified calls for papers matching your topic and your timeline. |
| --- | --- |

**You'll have the materials, the plan, and the confidence**

All that's left is to submit.

Your instructors

## Who you're learning from

 

Two people who have actually done this — one who built the framework, one who built the tools. You'll leave with both.
