Featured Partner Speaker

Authority in an AI World.

Michelle Prince, Executive Publisher at Advantage | The Authority Company, takes the Tip Top stage on Day 1, Wednesday October 28, at 3:30 PM.

  • ✓You can't spell authority without author. A step-by-step path for turning expertise into a clear message, a book, and a platform that opens doors to speaking, media and clients.
  • ✓Trusted human authority. When anyone can create content, lived experience, judgment and a clear point of view matter more than ever.
  • ✓Using AI well. How to use AI to amplify your thinking without giving up the voice that makes you worth listening to.

Are You the Authority in Your Field?

Trust is harder to earn than ever. Audiences are skeptical, attention is scarce, and expertise alone no longer gets you noticed.

In The Authority Advantage, Forbes Books CEO Adam Witty and bestselling thought leadership author Rusty Shelton share a proven, step-by-step approach to building impact-driven thought leadership, so the right people know who you are, trust what you say, and want to work with you.
