PSA Spain Convention

PSA Spain Convention
I am excited to join an incredible lineup of international speakers at the Professional Speakers Association of Spain yearly conference in Málaga on November 29, 2025. Hosted by Professional Speakers Association of Spain , a proud member of the Global Speakers Federation, this event celebrates diversity, innovation, and leadership in the world of professional speaking.
I’ll be delivering a talk called, “Inclusion is the future”. A reminder to consider your audience, who will have different ways of thinking, different ways of learning, different cultures, different beliefs – all the things you cannot see just by looking at the audience. Who are you positively including in your speech and who have you have excluded because you never considered it ?
If you’re serious about the business of speaking, come see my talk, along with game-changing talks and workshops from:
Marta Pardo 🎤 🇪🇸 🇫🇷 🇺🇸 • Andrew Bryant, CSP • JC Duran • Claire Boscq , Customer eXperience Energizer • Oliver Watson Rhythm • David Rigby • Eugene Seah • Grant ‘Upbeat’ Bosnick – Leadership Enabler, CSP” • Michelle Mills-Porter The People Reader • Mike Handcock • Susana Serrano-Davey • Azadeh Yaraghi • Roger Soreque • Josie Pont- Female ChangeMakers and hosted by Beth Sherman
See you there!
Why am I going to these events ?
Apart from a great excuse to spend a week in Malaga, I enjoy these conferences because it’s a chance to meet face-to-face all those people you have spoken to in Zoom as well as those you don’t know yet. And the way to get some new friends and maybe requested to do some work is to turn up. And it’s great fun too!
