Thank you for your interest in speaking at BIGWIG!

BIGWIG is a community of local business owners who believe in the power of connection, collaboration, education and shared growth. We come together each month to learn from experts, swap knowledge, and support one another through the ups and downs of running a business.

Before you fill things out, some things to consider:

  • Our sessions are the second Tuesday of the month in Maplewood New Jersey from 7-9pm - if that day, time, or location doesn't work for you, let us know and we'll keep you in mind for potential future opportunities

  • We pay our speakers $200 and offer up to $25 for any printing expenses or supplies

  • Our community prefers collaborative, workshop-style sessions, rather than solely presenting. Think less lecturing, more sharing and doing. With 80+ brilliant community members, we want to share experiences amongst the group!

  • Plan to have 60 minutes total, with ~30 minutes of talking, and 30 minutes of doing - spread however you like!

  • BIGWIG isn't a traditional networking/business development group, but if you'd like to offer a special offer or discount to our community, we will circulate that after the session for you

  • We are happy to review and offer feedback on your materials

  • We can provide a screen and projector as needed
