French Professional Speakers Association(Association Française des Conférenciers Professionnels AFCP)

French Professional Speakers Association AFCP (Association Française des Conférenciers Professionnels) was founded in 2008 to promote and to professionalize keynote speaking in France. Particularly dynamic in its events, workshops, conventions and club meetings, it enjoys success and attracts speakers who demonstrate fresh talent and approaches in the French market.

Founded by Laurent Tylski in 2008, currently seeking full membership and international certification in the Global Speakers Federation, AFCP successfully organized its first convention in Paris in March 2009. Its workshops have been a thriving exchange of practical business insights as well as a way of setting high standards for this relatively new profession in France.

Members recognize they gain direct, added-value techniques and tools for promoting their activity. AFCP has become an organization that draws attention from journalists, from other professionals and from the corporate world. It meets the challenge of federating talent and leveraging professionals who represent a wide range of skills and qualities.

AFCP’s new president, Pascale Pailhé, is setting sights for the coming year, targeting continuing progress in terms of communication, building professional skills and meeting the market’s demands for high-performing speakers to know how to deliver messages that move, inspire and mobilize a public.

Our association seeks professionals with web-based communication skills, also people who know how to organize and promote our events. For our convention, we welcome people who know how to work in a team and execute key tasks in a timely fashion.
