Trainer & Speaker Perks:

Besides joining the elite group of #OBTS trainers & speakers, we're also planning various events and perks at the conference, just for you! This includes a special VIP event, and of course a free ticket to #OBTS.

Moreover for trainers, the conference will provide you with a training room and basic A/V, at no cost to you. Even better, 100% of revenue earned from your training is yours to keep. This conference doesn't take any cut!

For speakers, you will receive a speaker honorarium (~$1000 USD), and your company will be recognized as a "Speaker Sponsor".
Such sponsorship includes recognition (company name & logo) on various conference materials:
