Speaking at the Small Business Virtual Extravaganza (SBVE) is designed to create more than a 30-minute presentation.
SBVE takes place November 20–21, 2026, live online through Airmeet. Speakers deliver an actionable session to business professionals while gaining access to a broader visibility campaign.
The speaker experience combines:
- A live virtual presentation
- A published collaboration book chapter
- A coordinated Amazon launch
- A unique registration tracking link
- A replay and evergreen free-gift pathway
- Ongoing exposure through SBVE and MBX distribution channels
For entrepreneurs, consultants, coaches, sales professionals, and small business owners, this creates a practical way to build authority and reach new audiences through one coordinated opportunity.
1. Own the Virtual Stage With an Actionable Presentation
Each SBVE speaker receives a 30-minute presentation slot.
The purpose is not to deliver a general introduction or make a prolonged sales pitch. The session should teach a useful, step-by-step process that attendees can apply in their businesses.
This format supports clear positioning. A focused presentation can demonstrate:
- How a problem is solved
- Which process produces a specific result
- What mistakes should be avoided
- Which actions attendees should take next
The audience includes entrepreneurs, small business owners, sales professionals, and other business professionals seeking practical strategies.
The live format also creates opportunities for interaction. Attendees can learn from the session, engage with the speaker, and continue conversations through the broader SBVE experience, including networking activities and virtual event spaces.
This is especially relevant for professionals participating in business networking events, virtual networking events, and professional networking groups. Visibility is stronger when it is connected to useful information and real conversations.
2. Become a Published Co-Author
The SBVE speaker package includes participation in the digital SBVE Collaboration Book.
The book is published in two formats:
- Kindle ebook
- Downloadable PDF
Each speaker contributes a chapter aligned with the presentation topic. The chapter provides another way for prospective clients, referral partners, and collaborators to discover the speaker’s expertise.
The standard Visibility Package includes a 1,000–1,500-word chapter. The Visibility Amplifier Package includes an extended chapter of up to 2,500 words.
The book also includes a coordinated Amazon launch. Three previous collaborative launches achieved Amazon bestseller status, including Curious Connectors and two SBVE Collaboration Books. Rankings are ultimately controlled by Amazon, so a specific result cannot be guaranteed.
The value is not limited to an Amazon ranking. The chapter becomes a reusable authority asset that can support:
- Email marketing
- Social media promotion
- Speaker introductions
- Follow-up campaigns
- Partnership conversations
- Future business networking opportunities
3. Continue Generating Leads After the Event
The chapter is built to support a follow-up pathway.
Speakers provide:
- An evergreen free gift
- A link to a complimentary presentation replay
- A QR code included in the chapter
This gives interested readers a clear next step after discovering the speaker’s content.
The pathway is simple:
- A reader discovers the chapter.
- The reader learns from the speaker’s expertise.
- The reader scans the QR code or follows the link.
- The reader accesses the free gift or replay.
- The speaker continues the relationship through follow-up.
The speaker’s message can therefore keep working after the live event ends.
The book is provided to every registered attendee, whether or not that person attends the live sessions. It is also made available through Amazon, used as an ongoing MBX lead magnet, and distributed through future summits and in-person events.
This creates a longer visibility cycle than a single presentation slot.
4. Reach a Relevant Business Audience
SBVE is designed for professionals who want to learn, connect, and grow.
The speaker topic tracks include:
- Growth & Sales
- Marketing & Visibility
- Systems & Scaling
- Influence & Authority
- Modern Business Tools
- Mindset & Performance
These tracks provide direction without limiting the type of expertise that can be presented.
A coach may teach a client-conversion framework. A consultant may explain a process for improving operations. A sales professional may present a repeatable follow-up system. A technology expert may demonstrate a tool that reduces manual work.
The strongest topics produce a defined result for the audience.
A useful presentation title should communicate:
- Who the session helps
- What problem it addresses
- What attendees will be able to do afterward
A clear promise improves discoverability and makes promotion easier.
5. Build Visibility Through Collaboration
SBVE is structured as a collaboration rather than a fee for stage time.
The investment supports a larger campaign that includes:
- Event production
- Publishing coordination
- Amazon launch strategy
- Book distribution
- Registration tracking
- Replay access
- Free-gift placement
- Visibility assets connected to the presentation and chapter
Each speaker also receives a unique tracking link and is expected to promote the event. Speakers are encouraged to work toward at least 30 registrations.
Promotion can include:
- Email invitations
- Social media posts
- Direct outreach
- Client newsletters
- Community announcements
- Partner promotions
The tracking link helps identify registrations generated through the speaker’s network.
This shared approach benefits both the speaker and the event audience. SBVE gains a stronger community of attendees, while the speaker gains additional exposure for the presentation, chapter, free gift, and professional expertise.

7. Why This Opportunity Still Matters for Existing Authors
Already an author? Already a bestseller?
That does not make the opportunity redundant.
The purpose of the SBVE Collaboration Book is not to prove that a speaker can publish. It is to place a focused piece of expertise inside a collaborative marketing asset that reaches a different audience.
The chapter can introduce readers to:
- A specific area of expertise
- A practical teaching framework
- A current presentation
- An evergreen resource
- A new business relationship
An existing author may also use the experience to test a new idea, introduce a newer offer, reach business networking audiences, or create a chapter that complements an existing book.
This is a visibility collaboration, not a competition with a speaker’s existing publishing record.
8. Teach First. Let the Follow-Up Do the Selling.
A speaker presentation should provide genuine value.
The session is not intended to become a long sales pitch. Attendees should leave with a useful process, framework, checklist, or set of next actions.
The free gift and complimentary replay provide the natural next step for people who want more information.
This approach supports trust. It also gives attendees control over whether they continue the relationship.
The speaker’s job is to:
- Teach a useful step-by-step session.
- Submit the required chapter, headshot, bio, and evergreen free gift by the deadline.
- Promote SBVE using the unique tracking link.
- Aim for at least 30 registrations.
- Participate in the scheduled presentation.
The result is a clear system for turning expertise into content, visibility, and follow-up.
