Land the Talk: How to Pitch Yourself as a Speaker and Win with Sophie Logan

You've got something worth saying. You just don't know how to get someone to put you on a stage.

Getting into conference speaking feels like one of those things where you need experience to get experience - but it doesn't have to be. This session with Sophie Logan breaks down exactly how to find the right opportunities, position yourself credibly, and write a pitch that actually gets noticed.

Meet the host:

Sophie Logan is Community & Editorial Manager at Rough Agenda - the team behind brightonSEO, Hero Conf, and MeasureFest. A Paid Media Specialist with over 11 years of experience in Lead Gen and B2B, she was recently named one of the Top Most Influential PPC Experts of 2026 and holds Diamond Google Ads Product Expert status. As a regular speaker and event attendee across the UK and beyond, Sophie also supports first-time speakers in building their pitches and landing their first gig - which makes her exactly the right person to learn this from.

What we'll cover:

• How to find the right opportunities — where to look for conferences and speaking slots that actually fit your experience and interests

• Writing a speaker bio that works — a simple framework for sounding credible without sounding like a CV

• Crafting talk titles and descriptions that get you shortlisted — how to communicate your topic clearly and make it stand out to a selection committee

  
  

This session is ideal for marketers who've been curious about speaking but haven't known where to start — or those who've tried before and not heard back.
