A Conference Where Women Turn Their Voice Into Influence
MAY 13–14, 2026 | Indianapolis, IN
Mic Drop LIVE is a two-day immersive conference for women growing paid speaking careers with real tools, real connection, and real momentum.
This is Bigger Than One Stage.
Women are underrepresented on stages and speaking events, especially paid ones.
Mic Drop LIVE exists to change that.
This conference was created to help you:
- Get booked
- Get paid
- Build a speaking career with intention
alongside women who are doing the same.
We don’t just teach women how to speak. We help them build careers around their voice.”

Ready to move beyond “I want to speak” into “I’m getting booked”

Workshops That Move Your Speaking Career Forward
You Don't Build a Speaking Career Alone
You’ll spend two days surrounded by #SpeakerSisters who are building speaking careers. This is where women share leads, swap tips, collaborate on opportunities, and form relationships that extend far beyond the conference.
> Facilitated #SpeakerSister Connect Sessions
> Built-in networking throughout the agenda
> Time to learn with and from each other
> A community that values collaboration over competition
Learn Directly From the People Who Book Speakers
You’ll hear directly from planners about industry trends, what they’re booking right now, and what makes a speaker stand out. You’ll also have opportunities to mingle, ask questions, and build relationships with the people who make booking decisions.
This is rare access and one of the most valuable parts of the Mic Drop LIVE experience.
Hosted by Jess Ekstrom & the Team at Mic Drop
Mic Drop LIVE is hosted by Jess Ekstrom, founder of Mic Drop Workshop and nationally recognized speaker.
Jess created Mic Drop to solve a real problem she saw firsthand: women with powerful ideas who didn’t know how to turn their voice into opportunity. Today, she and her team help women build speaking careers rooted in clarity, confidence, and community.
Jess isn’t just teaching what she knows, she’s here to lift other women’s voices.
