How to find speaking opportunities?

Marketing & Content Hub Tips, Tricks & Best Practices

Hello fellows,
I work in a London-based agency that helps brands enter and grow in China & attract Chinese consumers overseas. I’m hoping to find some events, online or offline, or digital platforms including podcasts etc. for my CEO to speak and generate leads for the company. Any idea how to find such events and approach them? Thanks!

Websites like Eventbrite, Meetup, and LinkedIn Events often list international and regional conferences where your CEO could pitch as a speaker.

For digital platforms, consider marketing podcasts, LinkedIn Live sessions, and webinars hosted by relevant business communities. Pitching as a guest speaker on China business-focused podcasts (China Business Cast, Digitally China) could also help generate leads.

Another option is partnering with business chambers like CBBC and, the European Chamber of Commerce in China to regularly host networking.

To find speaking opportunities, start by joining networking groups and attending industry events, conferences, and local meetups to connect with organizers. Utilize online platforms like SpeakerHub, TEDx, and Meetup to discover available speaking gigs. Proactively pitch yourself by reaching out to event organizers, podcasts, and businesses that align with your expertise. Leverage social media by sharing valuable insights on LinkedIn, Twitter, and YouTube to attract invitations. Lastly, start small by offering free talks at schools, clubs, or webinars to build experience and credibility, gradually leading to bigger opportunities.
