FORM INDUSTRY EXPERT TO SPEAKER

You're the expert.

All that's missing is the stage.

I bring consultants and subject matter experts to conference stages as speakers. From national expert events to leading international conferences and events hosted by Google and Microsoft.

  • I transform your knowledge into talks that conferences really want.
  • I will show you exactly how to get your stage, build your speaker brand and guide you along the way.
  • In 30 days, you will be more attractive than ever for conferences.

THESE CONFERENCES HAVE CHOSEN ME AS A SPEAKER

+ over 30 more conferences

IT'S NOT YOU - IT'S THEM

Why you haven't been invited yet.

Because you made a career.

Your expertise has taken you far. But expertise alone won't get you on stage. Being a speaker requires more than just specialist knowledge and position. That's exactly where we come in.

Because you rely solely on your content.

Content is the basis for any good talk you will give on stage. But it is only one of the building blocks for your invitation to the stage. I will fill in the missing building blocks for you.

Conferences are not transparent.

Conferences operate according to their own rules. With over 100 invitations under my belt, I know exactly what organizers look for and how you can get ahead in the selection process.

WHY WORK WITH ME? SIMPLE.

I'm not talking about how to get on stage.

I'm on stage myself.

5 continents - 40+ conferences - 100+ invitations

As a speaker, I have traveled around the world many times. Nowadays, I freely choose the conferences at which I speak.

I started out as a subject matter expert and grew into speaking.

To this day, I work as a consultant for DAX40 corporations, SMEs, and VC-backed scale-ups. So I know exactly where you stand and how we can get you invited onto the stage.

International Players trust me.

National conferences, leading international conferences from South America to Australia, and conferences hosted by industry giants such as Microsoft and Google regularly invite me to speak on their stages.

ABOUT ME

Marin Niehues

I have been working as a management consultant for DAX-listed companies, SMEs, and scale-ups for eight years. During this time, I have had the privilege of working with some of the most demanding and fastest-growing companies in Europe. At the same time, I have built up an international speaking career—with over 100 invitations across five continents, from Google and Microsoft to major conferences around the world.


What many people don't know is that I didn't start out with any contacts. Four years ago, I couldn't have imagined what it would be like to stand on a stage. No agency. No personal brand. No network.

What I did have was expertise and the will to find a way.

 

Today, I am invited worldwide without having to actively pitch myself. Not because I am the loudest person in the room, but because I know exactly how conferences make decisions and how to build a profile that organizers really want to book.


I pass on this knowledge.
To consultants and experts who are starting out like I did back then: with expertise, but without a stage.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

  • No. All you need is your professional expertise. I'll take care of the rest: structure, sessions, positioning, profile, and the entire submission process. Most of my clients have never had anything to do with public speaking before.
  • The first visible results usually appear within the first 10 to 14 days, once your session portfolio is ready and we start scouting. The first invitations usually arrive between 3 and 8 weeks later, depending on the topic, the season, and the conference landscape.
  • Basically for all knowledge-intensive industries: tech, consulting, healthcare, manufacturing, finance, HR, leadership, product, operations, transformation, and more. It's not the industry that matters, but your area of expertise, which we will translate into stages together.
  • No, a guarantee would be unreliable because conferences have their own criteria and selection processes.

    But what I can guarantee is this:

    • You will receive a portfolio that is professional enough to be seriously considered

    • You will only be submitted to conferences that are a realistic fit for you

    • I will take care of the scouting and pitching until the first invitations come in

    With over 100 invitations of my own, I know exactly how programs are put together. I use this expertise to your advantage.

  • Stage Starter offers you an exclusive 3-month program. This program includes three full-day group sessions, three personal one-on-ones, recordings of the sessions, and all materials used.
     
    Of course, you can also contact us in writing or by phone throughout the program.
  • The program runs for 3 months with 3 full-day group sessions and 3 individual 30-minute 1:1s. If you can't attend live, you'll get recordings and transcripts. You should plan a little time each month to prepare and implement what you learned.
  • I don't coach your performance, but rather build you a functioning stage system. No “you have to speak more expressively,” but rather genuine market relevance: positioning, sessions, selecting the right conferences, and operational submissions until invitations arrive.

  • No. You decide for yourself how many stages you want to use. Some clients want 1 to 2 high-quality appearances per year, while others build up a larger speaker presence. The system works for both.

  • Yes. You will receive a complete speaker portfolio, working sessions, and a clear profile. This will enable you to continue pitching on your own at any time.

    However, many remain with us long-term because the greatest effect is achieved through continuous scouting, ongoing submissions, and new session ideas. You decide for yourself whether you want to do this on your own or whether you want me to continue supporting you.

  • Stage Starter costs € 3,290.00 plus sales tax for the entire 3-month program.
