Your Red Carpet Invitation
Thank you for your interest in speaking at the Make It Happen Summit.
We learned sooooo much last year when we hosted the first Make It Happen Summit. It was an amazing event, and we're incredibly proud of all we accomplished!
AND...
Now that we understand the flow and mechanics and "rules" of how to put together an summit like this, we're ready to break some of those rules and create a much more exciting experience the second time around. And we're so excited that you are interested in being involved!
On this page, you'll find everything you need to know about applying to be one of our speakers. If you run into a question we didn’t answer, email us at hello@jennieandmeredyth.com.
What we're looking for...
We're looking for speakers who can share their experiences + expertise to help our audience make things happen. And it’s very important to us that we feature a diverse range of speakers in terms of race, nationality, gender, abilities, backgrounds, and perspectives.
Make It Happen Summit is where entrepreneurs with impatient ambition come together to cut through 2025's completely bonkers landscape. You already know the what and the why — this summit is all about the HOW.
This isn't another event where you collect more ideas and strategies to think about someday. We want speakers who understand that driven entrepreneurs don't need more brilliant ideas — they need help cutting through the noise to focus on what will actually move their business forward, and they need it implemented immediately.
This summit is about helping entrepreneurs navigate the noise — not add to it — while giving them both the confidence to act and the permission to subtract.
In other words, we're going to answer the questions: what's gotta happen, what's gotta change, and what's gotta give.
About your hosts…
In case we haven’t met yet, we are Jennie + Meredyth. 👋🏻

We work with entrepreneurs with impatient ambition…people - like YOU - who have done great things, but want waaay more, and it's just not happening fast enough. We help you actually accomplish what matters most to you so that you can get farther, faster!
We are also married business partners who run our two-woman empire from the road in our beautiful 28' Airstream trailer with our adorable 4-pound pup-pup, Sadie.
How the event will work…
The word summit can mean a lot of things in the online entrepreneur space, so let us make it super-duper clear how ours is gonna work:
Make It Happen Summit is a free virtual 7-day summit that will run from Monday, September 15th through Sunday, September 21st, 2025.
Each speaker will produce an immediately actionable 10-15 minute prerecorded presentation to share with our audience.
Tickets to participate in the summit are FREE (with an option to upgrade the ticket — more on that in a moment). The promotion period will start on Monday, September 1st.
On the first day of the summit, we will drop all of the prerecorded presentations so free ticketholders have seven full days to listen and engage in our presentations. They’ll also receive access to our virtual swag bag with contributions from our speakers and sponsors.
We'll also host some live experiences during the week of the summit, including our popular speaker panel discussions.
Ticketholders will have the opportunity to upgrade their tickets to an ALL IN Pass for a low-ticket fee. This pass gives them lifetime access to the speakers' presentations and access to a bunch of other perks and bonuses provided by our speakers, sponsors, and us.
The collective audience for the summit will come from the combined promotional efforts of us, our speakers, our sponsors, and our affiliates. We'll provide promo material to make that part fun and easy.
Here's what the summit is all about...
Make It Happen Summit is where entrepreneurs with impatient ambition come together to cut through 2025's completely bonkers landscape, where there are infinite possibilities out there right now, and just as many voices telling us why none of them will work.
This isn't another event where you collect more strategies to think about someday.
This is where you get crystal-clear next steps AND the permission to finally ditch what's been keeping you spinning your wheels. Our people love to hear from other entrepreneurs who have been there before and can share "stop doing this SO you can start doing this...this afternoon" with the confidence that comes from actually walking this path.
We're bringing together speakers who show up with their sleeves rolled up, ready to help you:
Get better at spotting what's not for you
Get selective about who and what you listen to
Get strategic about what and who you give your energy to
Make It Happen Summit is about helping entrepreneurs navigate the noise, not add to it. We want speakers who understand that driven entrepreneurs don't need more brilliant ideas — they need help cutting through the noise to focus on what will actually move their business forward, and they need it implemented immediately, not someday.
We want real talk from people who get that success in 2025's landscape isn't about having the perfect strategy — it's about creating the right conditions for that strategy to work, all while filtering out everything that doesn't serve your specific business goals.
The answer isn't more information — it's taking action on what you already know.
We're looking for speakers who get it.
If you're someone who's figured out how to cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters, if you can help entrepreneurs stop spinning their wheels and start making real progress, and if you're ready to share what actually works (not just what sounds good) — this is your crowd.
We want speakers who understand that entrepreneurs don't need another framework to think about — they need someone to help them see what they're already capable of and take action on it.
Your presentation should fit into one of these buckets...
What's Gotta HAPPEN
You know what you care about most in your business — the work that lights you up, the impact you want to make, the stuff that actually matters to you. But somehow you're spending most of your time on everything else, right? What new actions do you need to start taking so you can actually focus on the work that matters? What do you need to add to your plate — maybe it's a new routine, a different approach, or finally doing that thing you keep putting off — so you can actually get farther, faster?
What's Gotta CHANGE
Something's not working the way it used to. Maybe it's your pricing structure, your systems that are held together with digital duct tape, or the way you're positioning yourself that made sense before the pandemic but feels totally off now. What adjustments do you need to make — in your mindset, your approach, how you're managing what's already on your plate — so your business can actually support the goals you're setting?
What's Gotta GIVE
Your plate is already full, and adding more stuff isn't the answer. So what are you going to stop doing? What clients, tasks, projects, or other commitments need to get the boot so you can focus on the stuff that actually moves the needle? What do you need to let go of completely so that everything else can get the attention it deserves? And how can you write yourself a permission slip to do just that?
The kind of presentations that work:
We're not looking for high-level inspiration or theoretical frameworks. We want practical, implementable advice and strategies that entrepreneurs can start using this week. So your presentation should be:
Be actionable and specific (not just inspirational)
Include real examples from your own experience
Give people something they can implement immediately
What’s in it for YOU…
1. Grow your email list
Now to be clear: we are not sharing the attendee list with speakers because that would be just spammy and gross. But you'll have the opportunity to promote a freebie opt-in to get participants on to your email list. This will hopefully result in lots of new, quality subscribers for you, who will then go on to purchase from you either immediately (through a upsell offer) or later once they get to know you.
2. 40% affiliate commissions
You will receive 40% commission for anyone who purchases the ALL IN Pass through your affiliate link.
3. A complimentary ALL IN Pass
We are still sorting out everything that will be included in the all-access pass, but it will certainly include lifetime access to the presentations, a private podcast feed of the event, and a mini-bundle of highly relevant resources contributed by our speakers and sponsors.
4. A repurposable presentation
The presentation you create for this summit will live in the ALL IN Pass forever, but the brilliance inside is yours. You're free to repurpose your presentation however you wish in your own work.
5. Exposure and visibility
If you’re actively seeking opportunities to grow your audience, expand your reach, and raise your profile, this is a fantastic opportunity for you. Being a speaker at our Make It Happen Summit is going to let you get in front of an audience of impatiently ambitious entrepreneurs who are itching to make things happen…and who knows where that might lead. It will also be a powerful nurture opportunity for your existing audience. But all that said, we cannot possibly predict what tangible sales will come from your involvement.
This is our second time hosting this summit, but with quite a few changes. In our inaugural event, we had just over 1,000 participants join us over three days. This year, we’re hoping to have thousands sign up over seven days, but it completely depends on our collective promotional efforts.
What’s in it for US…
And to keep things on the up and up, here's what's in it for us: new folks joining our community, sales from our ALL IN Pass, income from sponsorships, and the super fun chance to put together an impactful event. This event not only supports our existing audience, but also expands our reach and amps up our rep in the online business world.
Plus, we're excited about the new friendships we get to make in our industry while recruiting speakers and sponsors.
What we’ll ask of you…
This all sounds cool, but what are the actual requirements for a speaker at the Make It Happen Summit? Let’s break it down…
Basics: We’ll need some basic information so we can tell everyone all about you and your genius - bio, headshot, links, etc.
Presentation: Your prerecorded presentation needs to be between 10-15 minutes, including your up to 2-minute pitch of your freebie opt-in offer. Full presentation instructions will be shared, including prompts and suggested presentation format/flow.
Promo requirement: During the main promo period (September 1st - September 15th) you agree to send...
At least 1 dedicated/solo email to your full email list promoting the event.
At least 2 social media posts where your largest/most engaged audience is promoting the event.
We’ll provide full templated swipe copy and graphics to make this requirement incredibly easy to implement.
Plus the following totally optional, but strongly encouraged, opportunities are available to you…
Premium resource: Speakers will be invited to contribute a premium resource (read: not something that's already available for free on your website) that's highly relevant to helping our audience make things happen. This is a bonus opportunity to gain additional email subscribers from ALL IN Passholders who opt to snag your bonus.
Panels: You'll also be invited to participate in one of the speaker panel discussions hosted by us for additional visibility to our summit audience.
Before you ask…
We know that there are lots of different kinds of collaborative events out here in the online space with lots of different rules and norms. So we thought we’d proactively make some things crystal clear about how ours will roll…
We will never ask you about your list size or social media reach. We will be choosing our speakers based on the quality of your proposals and what we think will create the strongest mix of presentations to create the best possible experience for our audience. We will not base our selections on how “big” a name you are nor on how long we’ve known you personally. The only bits we will “measure” are whether your presentation meets our 10-15 minute length requirement and the amount of affiliate dollars we get to send you from all the ALL IN Pass sales you help generate.
We will require your help with promotion. Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all super-duper easy (and dare we say, fun)!
Participation in the live speaker panels is optional, but encouraged.
Yes, you can also apply to be a sponsor if you’re a speaker!
Yes, you can pitch us more than one topic to speak on, but please include them all in one application form.
Affiliate details...
While summits like ours are fabulous opportunities for gaining visibility, growing your list, and making new connections, a little extra cash never hurts either, right?
That’s exactly why we’ve set up an affiliate program where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made by November 10th.
The commission structure is as follows:
40% for all speakers
25% for all other affiliates
The pricing structure will be:
$50 for up to 20 minutes after initial registration (this is a fast action upsell offer they'll see upon signing up)
$75 from September 1st to September 14th (after those 20 minutes expire)
$100 after the summit starts
To make it as easy as possible for you to spread the word about our event, we will provide you a vault of resources that includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics.
Just remember to use your affiliate link, which we will set up for you.
As with all affiliate promotions, you must disclose that you’re using an affiliate link everywhere you share it with your audience.
