Operations Analyst

Let's skip the typical "how I started from nothing" origin story. 

Here’s what matters:

If you're a thought leader or keynote speaker and not leveraging modern lead generation strategies… you're leaving a lot of opportunities on the table.

Why? Because people book people.

If you've got:

-Value-add content
-A targeted list your ideal prospect
-Personalization that scales
-A follow-up system focused on building relationships

You can get booked on stages around the world, and sell your thought leadership to your ideal client.

And most importantly, amplify your impact.

How do I know this?

Because when I was building my lead generation agency, I discovered the power of combining data-driven strategies with deep industry insights.

I went from struggling to fill calendars to securing millions in revenue for my clients across various industries. 

I scaled my agency from a solo operation to over 300 clients and 80 employees worldwide.

Now, I'm applying these proven strategies to help professional speakers and thought leaders to grow their impact and secure high-profile engagements.

Interested in taking your thought leadership business to new heights?

Drop me a message, and let's explore how we can elevate your influence and bookings.

—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you're not interested in growth strategies and just want to know more about me, here are some random facts:

-I'm a Philly native who once thought an MBA was the only path to success (spoiler: it wasn't)

-My first entrepreneurial venture was a drink can cooler (it flopped, but led me to discover lead generation)

-I once turned a skeptical client's business around, hitting a $100k month in 2020 and making him $50k in a single month

-I'm a family man who took the leap into entrepreneurship with a wife and two kids depending on me (talk about motivation!)

-I've been consulting for Gotham Artists Speaker Bureau for the last 3.5 years, bringing my marketing expertise to the world of professional speakers.

Guest Speaker

National Speakers Association Austin, TX

Speaker

Social Media Examiner

Served as the high-energy Event Emcee for the Social Media and AI Stage at Social Media Examiner’s 2025 conference in San Diego, CA. I kept the audience engaged, the program running smoothly, and the speakers feeling like rockstars. From kicking off sessions with energy to ensuring every transition flowed with ease, I brought my voice, vibe, and vibrant presence to one of the industry's top events.

Autism in Black

As the official Emcee for the 2025 Autism in Black Conference, I had the honor of hosting and guiding attendees through three transformative days of education, empowerment, and community.

I kept the energy high and transitions engaging while ensuring every session supported the event’s mission: providing community Black autistic adults a space with vital resources to parents and caregivers.
I created a safe, inclusive space that prioritized psychological safety and honored the unique experiences of Black individuals who are on or caring for someone on the spectrum.

From engaging speaker intros to impactful session transitions, I ensured attendees felt seen, supported, and inspired. This was more than hosting for me, it was holding space for healing, learning, and connection.

Have an event coming up where you want an Inclusive AND Engaging Emcee? DM or email me at Quinn@QuinnConyers.com to start the conversation.

WBENC

I served a virtual presenter for the College Accelerator Pitch Program and the We Thrive Women in Business Program. 

For the college students I showed them how to develop and deliver a powerful pitch they can use for an upcoming pitch competition. They learned how to creating a winning pitch and was given space to practice their pitch for feedback. 

For the We Thrive program I trained women business owners how to turn conversations into clients. 

They learned:
-Why they must retire their elevator pitch and replace it with a Verbal Business Business 
-The power of Luxury Language 
-The importance of having conversations that convert

Virtual Trainer/Presenter 

NSA Arizona 

Delivered powerful training called Turn Conversations into Speaking Contracts for emerging and established speakers, emcees and presenters. 

This presentation equips audiences with the tools to articulate their value, package their services to boost speaker fees, and communicate using “luxury language” that positions them as premium professionals in the speaking industry.

 Attendees walked away with enhanced elevator pitches, a clear understanding of how to differentiate themselves, and actionable techniques to turn conversations into clients, contracts, and consulting opportunities.

Keynote Speaker & Event Emcee

Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce

As the Event Emcee for the 20th annual East Bay Women's Conference, I had the privilege of introducing sponsors and speakers, hosting engaging Q&A sessions, and summarizing main stage sessions for content reinforcement. My role also involved providing event details to attendees and keeping the event on time and upbeat, all while partnering with the board and event planner to create an unforgettable experience.

Event Emcee for 20th annual East Bay Women's Conference 

Sistas In Sales

Served as event host for awards celebration and Gala! 

Kicked event off with energy and excitement. 

Introduced celebrity keynote speakers. 

Kept the audience engaged between each session. 

Provided session summaries after each speaker and panel for content reinforcement. 

Overcame small tech challenges while keeping the event on time and up beat.

I don’t just emcee events...I host EPIC experiences!

Many meeting planners are tasked with hiring speakers, managing vendors, securing venues and meeting food and beverage minimums.

With a full plate of event logistics, they often overlook or underestimate they energy and engagement needed  to capture and keep the attention of attendees and sponsors

This leaves audience members disengaged, bored and not connected to your conference. As a result, attendees are NOT returning to your event, sponsorship support decreases and poor event reviews become popular. 

As a high-energy event emcee with 20 years of public speaking experience, I specialize in transforming multi-day association events and corporate conferences  into engaging, unforgettable experiences. I ensure  attendees stay connected and captivated to your event beyond a 45 minute breakout session or a 60 minute keynote presentation. 

From seamless speaker transitions, to making sponsors feel visible and valuable. I also  handle  event hiccups with ease and excellence, making  me the go-to pro emcee when partnering with meeting planners. 

If you want your next event to run smoothly and keep your sanity, a professional event emcee just might  be the answer to your event prayers. 

Previous emcee clients include: 
-Nike 
-American Association of Clinical Endocrinologist (AACE) 
-Energetic Women's Association 
-PayPal 
-Sistas in Sales Conference 
-United Nations 
-Meeting Planners International (MPI) 

But my impact doesn’t stop on stage. I take pride in training emerging emcees and event hosts how to launch lucrative emcee careers by educating them on the  business of hosting. From pricing, unique  positioning and  powerful stage performance, I teach emcees how to turn their talent into a thriving, profitable career.

As a speaker and trainer for women entrepreneurs, I show business owners how to leverage speaking as a strategy to grow their brand, turn conversations into clients, and cash in on their credibility. Speaking is no longer a soft skill. It’s a strategic business tool that, when used intentionally, leads to endless revenue, recognition and client retention.

📌 Need a professional emcee to transform your event from basic to mind-blowing? 
📌 Want to learn how to launch a lucrative career as an Emcee?
📌 Looking for a dynamic speaker to show women entrepreneurs how to use their voice as a business growth strategy?
