CAPS Alberta

CAPS Alberta is a vibrant community of professional speakers that includes consultants, trainers, keynoters, emcees, coaches, and facilitators.

We provide our members and guests with excellent educational and networking opportunities to grow your speaking business. Join us at our fabulous Super Saturday events, hosted 8 times per year on the third Saturday of the month.

Each full morning of programming includes topics like story-crafting for the stage, the business side of speaking, the power of video, how to fill your sales funnel, and so much more. Our in-person meetings take place at Hotel Blackfoot in Calgary and often include content-rich afternoon workshops led by that day’s featured speaker. All events are hybrid, with half of the events being fully virtual.

Throughout the year we host additional social events like our summer golf tournament and impromptu gatherings with CAPS members from other parts of Canada. We have partnered with Meeting Professional International (MPI) Greater Calgary which evolved from our goal of creating opportunities for our members.

We’re a warm and welcoming group of professional speakers with members located across Alberta, and a few from Saskatchewan and BC too. Join us!
