Speaker/AffilIAte Information + Resources
Thank you for your interest in speaking at the first-ever Elementary Art Summit™! After serving over 31,000 elementary music teachers with our Elementary Music Summit® event, I’m so excited to potentially team up with you to pull off an incredible event aimed at supporting elementary art teachers!
The Elementary Art Summit™ is a three-day synchronous virtual event that will help elementary art teachers from around the world up-level their teaching, increase student engagement, and find balance in their lives.
On this page, you’ll find resources meant to make speaking as easy as possible and answer any questions you have. If you run into a question I didn’t answer, email me at bryson@thatmusicteacher.com.
If you've been a part of events including webinars, summits, or other collaborative offerings and found that they didn't go so smoothly or benefit you as a speaker, I encourage you to check out what my past speakers have had to say!
As a speaker, you'll also get free access to the All-Access Pass, allowing you to level-up your teaching as well!
How The Event Will Work
The Elementary Art Summit™ will run from August 4th-6th, 2026. Presentations will include 30 minutes of content (with up to a 3-minute freebie pitch). Based on attendee feedback, we will be requiring speakers to either submit their slides or a worksheet/handout for attendees to download.
We will be broadcasting the live sessions to emulate the live experience. Speakers should plan on engaging with the chat and/or answering questions either throughout the presentation or at the end as time allows.
Along with the presentations, there will be a private community for attendees to have fun in, hold each other accountable, and ask questions. If attendees have good questions while your presentation is going on, you’re welcome to post in the group to answer those questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value.
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have a few weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I'll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.
During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting the All-Access Pass. This includes a year’s access to the session recordings and plenty of speaker-submitted bonus resources (more on that later). This will provide immense value to our attendees, while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions and grow your email list. Yay!
What We’ll Ask Of You
1. BASIC INFORMATION (Speakers Only)
The first thing I’ll need is some basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and speakers page. Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send you a link where you can upload all this information easily. If you’ve already filled out our Call for Proposals form we likely have most if not all of this information already!
Due Date: ASAP
2. PRESENTATION RESOURCES & RECORDING (Speakers Only)
Next up is your presentation resources! We’ll need your session recording, slides and/or worksheet prior to the event to allow us time to review and process these resources.
Due date: TBD
3. ALL-ACCESS PASS CONTRIBUTION (Speakers & Affiliates)
The All-Access Pass will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make it even more valuable and to give you an additional way to grow your email list, I’ll ask each of you to provide one resource to add. This includes complimentary access to things like:
Templates
Lesson Plans
Workbooks
Mini-Courses
eBooks
Note: I expect this to convert well so I do not recommend contributing any 1:1 offers.
It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. While this isn’t required, it’s highly encouraged that you participate.
We cannot accept freebies or percentage-off offers.
Information for these resources is due on TBD. You'll receive a questionnaire to fill out closer to that time to make passing the information to me nice and simple.
Attendees will be able to start claiming your bonus on July 16th, 2026.
4. PROMOTION (Speakers & Affiliates)
The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
Because of that, everyone is encouraged to share on social media and to email their lists during the promotion period, starting on July 18th, 2026.
You’ll want to share using your affiliate link so you can get in on the 40% (30% for non-speaking affiliates) commission that will come from any All-Access Pass sales. (All you have to do is promote the free event, we handle the rest!)
You’ll find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault below.
Speaker/Affiliate Benefits
While speaking at the summit offers fantastic overall visibility and a chance to make new connections, the benefits don't stop there! Many of our past speakers have seen a significant increase in their social media following and substantial email list growth by having their content featured and by capturing leads through the All-Access Pass (AAP).
A little extra income never hurts either, right?
That's exactly why we've set up an affiliate program for the All-Access Pass. You'll receive a commission from all sales generated from traffic you refer to the event.
The commission structure for speakers is 40% and 30% for non-speaking affiliates. Payouts will be made no later than 30 days after the event concludes via Paypal.
To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income and audience growth, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you're more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads.
Just remember to use your unique affiliate link, which you can create or look up here. (Coming soon)
As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you're an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
In addition to any affiliate income you earn, we also provide a $100 base speaker honorarium to speakers.
Resource Vault
To make promoting the event as easy as possible, we’ll be providing sample emails, social media copy, and graphic templates. We’ll be adding more promotional materials for you to use as we get closer to the event.
