As we close out 2024, we at Gravity Speakers are filled with gratitude for what has been a truly remarkable year. While not without its challenges, it has been immensely rewarding in ways that matter most to us, building deeper connections and fostering meaningful in-person experiences. We had set out with that intention at the start of 2024 and we’ve far-beyond exceeded our expectations (check out all the beautiful faces we've met!).

From intimate workshops to headline-grabbing keynotes, every event reminded us of the transformative power of words to inspire, educate, and unite. Along the way, we had the privilege of building relationships, solving challenges, and creating unforgettable moments together. These moments—big and small—have laid a strong foundation for future growth, and we’re grateful for the trust, support, and inspiration we’ve shared with so many of you.

In this post, we’re celebrating the highlights that defined 2024: the connections we nurtured, the events that made a lasting impact, and the stories that moved us forward. Join us as we reflect on the year that was and look ahead to the possibilities of 2025.

Spotlight on Memorable Events

2024 has been a year of exciting developments, inspiring milestones, and incredible achievements for Gravity Speakers and the talented individuals we represent. From welcoming new exclusive speakers to celebrating career-defining moments, here’s a look at some of the highlights that shaped this year.

Welcoming New Exclusive Speakers

This year, we were thrilled to add three remarkable thought leaders to Gravity’s exclusive roster: Anthony McLean, Kanika Chadda Gupta, and Rachel Rodgers. Each of these speakers brings a unique perspective and powerful message to the stage, aligning perfectly with our mission to inspire and transform audiences around the globe. We’re excited about the opportunities to amplify their voices and expand their reach as part of the Gravity family.

Notable Achievements by Our Exclusives

2024 has been a banner year for many of our exclusive speakers:

  • Arlan Hamilton launched her first-ever Your First Million Live event in conjunction with the release of her highly anticipated book, Your First Million, earlier this year. The event was a resounding success, inspiring entrepreneurs to dream big and take bold action.
  • Norliza Pavlakos, Madison Butler, and Sheena Allen are celebrating major milestones with the publication and upcoming publications of their books, each exploring themes that resonate deeply with audiences.
  • Huge congratulations to Courtney Caldwell and Tye Caldwell for the successful acquisition of ShearShare, a testament to their visionary leadership and dedication to empowering the beauty industry.
  • A round of applause for Ugwem Eneyo, whose groundbreaking work led to the successful acquisition of Shyft Power Solutions, further solidifying her impact in sustainable energy solutions.

Gravity’s Notable Events and Milestones

Our year was also marked by memorable events and key initiatives:

  • In April, we joined the celebration of Arlan Hamilton’s Your First Million Live event and attended the Impact Eleven Open House, where collaboration and inspiration were in abundance.

  • The final quarter of the year, October to December, was all about relationships, as we had the privilege of meeting and engaging with a host of inspiring speakers.

Partnerships: New and Continued

We’re grateful for the partnerships that have fueled our success this year, including ongoing collaborations with Amaz1n Media, Sonya Denyse (Dream Development), Outspeak, Colour Outside, and Impact Eleven. A special shoutout to Jaimie Briggs, who joined the Gravity team with her sunny disposition to assist the wonderful speakers we’re consistently adding to our roster. 

These moments and milestones reflect the heart of Gravity Speakers: empowering voices, building connections, and driving impact. As we look back on 2024, we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished and excited for the opportunities ahead.

What’s to Come: 2025

As we shift our gaze forward, we’ve been thinking hard about what success would look like for 2025. The word that comes to the forefront is Growth. This past year has been a masterclass in learning—deepening relationships, navigating challenges, and honing our expertise. In 2025, we’re ready to put that knowledge into action. Growth for us means driving more bookings, creating exciting event opportunities, and strengthening the bonds we’ve built with our incredible clients, speakers, and partners. It’s about amplifying our impact, expanding our reach, and continuing to connect the right voices with the right audiences. With every lesson learned and every connection made, we are primed for a year of purpose-driven progress, and we can’t wait to grow together with you.

Cheers to the future!
