Organize a Successful Corporate Summit
As Toastmasters members, you have a unique opportunity to organize transformative corporate summits that not only attract companies eager to establish new corporate clubs but also connect you with amazing leaders. Leverage your skills in communication and leadership to create an event that opens doors to new business partnerships and enhances professional growth. Plus, organizing a corporate summit is a complex task that qualifies as a DTM Project, giving you official recognition for your leadership efforts.
A Corporate Summit can take on different formats. It might be a simple Demo Meeting, where we conduct two speeches, a Table Topics session, and evaluations—specifically designed for corporate representatives to experience the Toastmasters method in a concise and impactful setting.
You can opt for a more structured event where invited companies have the opportunity to present their own speeches. In this format, Toastmasters members act as mentors, helping companies prepare and refine their presentations. This approach not only showcases the benefits of Toastmasters but also deepens the engagement between corporate participants and Toastmasters mentors.
For this more structured event, a broader team is essential, including:
- Logistic Master: Overseeing the Welcome Team and managing the Venue Arrangement on the day of the event.
- Public Relations Master: Creating PR materials and enhancing the Social Media Presence to ensure maximum visibility.
- Mentoring Master: Recruiting mentors and ensuring they effectively guide the corporate speakers.
- Corporate Liaison: A dedicated person responsible for reaching out to local companies and coordinating their participation.
