## Resource

Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s long overdue for discussion—how we value professional speakers and why they deserve to be paid for their work. Yes, even at industry events! Joining us is Tami Adams, founder and curator of speaking talent at TA Speakers Management. Adams is a longtime supported of the Ignite Worth it initiative, which was founded on the idea that the industry can only grow if we articulate and stand up for our value. She walks the talk everyday, not only for herself, but for the talented professional speakers she represents.
