Since 1998, meeting planners have used Rebecca Ryan to inspire audiences to build better places to live and work for our future generations. Times have changed; today, meeting planners are working with smaller budgets, and have to do more with less.

That’s why we are stoked to announce three bold actions to help meeting planners deliver high-quality content, while keeping speaker expenses down. See Rebecca’s video message here (link to video)

1. We’ve adjusted speaking fees and certified three new speakers to ensure that - no matter what your budget - you can tap into our expertise. 

• Effective immediately, you can book Rebecca Ryan for between $5,000 and $15,000, depending on location, date and audience. 
• In addition, this year we certified three new speakers, to ensure that meeting planners with budgets as small as $1,000 can get access to our subject matter experts.

Peter Moorhouse, Peg Hartmann and Marti - all content experts in their own right - passed three critical milestones to become NGC speakers in 2009: (1) Each delivered a live webcast on their area of expertise and received an average rating of 9 (out of ten) from the attendees. (2) Rebecca personally supervised each speaker as they presented to a live audience. (3) Each attended training on how to use story-telling and slide design for maximum audience impact. 

Rebecca personally designed and supervised this process to ensure that when clients hire Peter, Peg or Marti they have NGC's guarantee that they can deliver the goods. If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with one of our speakers, you will receive a full refund of their speaking fee, no questions asked. 

But wait, there’s more... 

2 We know that “virtual meetings” - where participants and speakers “join in” from anywhere in the world - have been replacing in-person meetings throughout this economic crisis. To help meeting planners take advantage of this trend, we’ve tested dozens of systems and invested in Adobe Connect. Adobe Connect allows you to deliver a live presentation with full-motion video and slides to any audience with an internet connection, a computer and a projection system. It’s a snap to setup, and speaker fees for this kind of meeting are 70-90% less than other speaking services. Contact Joseph Schneider (email: js@nextgenerationconsulting.com) if you’re interested in testing AdobeConnect, to determine if this option is right for you.

3. Finally, we’ve completely overhauled our keynote presentations to make sure they’re timely and relevant to the concerns leaders have NOW about how to build - or rebuild a city or workplace that will last. See the brand new line-up of topics now .

So there you have it - (1) great speakers for every budget; (2) new technology that connects audiences and speakers and saves scads of money, (3) and fresh content for a new era of change
