Ultimate Speaker Competition Brings 2-Day Transformational Experience to Austin, April 26–27

AUSTIN, Texas - April 17, 2025 - PRLog -- The nationally recognized Ultimate Speaker Competition (USC) is coming to Austin for the first time, April 26–27, 2025, at Highpoint 2222 Innovation Center. This transformational two-day experience offers speakers, authors, and entrepreneurs the opportunity to elevate their message, build visibility, and connect with like-minded leaders from across the country.

Now in its 12th edition, USC has already helped over 200 speakers gain professional video content, training, and industry connections. This event is created and produced by Christoff J. Weihman and Michelle Renee Weihman, and is presented by GRACE Empowerment Enterprises.

We are also proud to shine a spotlight on our featured nonprofit partner, Too Found / Esperanza Community — an Austin-based organization dedicated to providing housing, support, and transformative resources to individuals currently experiencing homelessness.

Through this event, we aim to raise both awareness and support for their mission. By empowering people with stability, community, and opportunity, Too Found is helping individuals rewrite their stories and move toward long-term transformation. We invite our attendees, speakers, and partners to stand with us in amplifying their impact.
