Speaker Resources + Info
Hey hey! I’m so excited to team up with you for another amazing round of the Creative Spark Summit with a fresh focus!
This time, we’re diving into something product creators wrestles with: standing out in a world where AI can generate anything. When you create with your own hands your thumbprint shows up in everything you make even if you don’t realize it. That’s what turns a shop into a brand instead of a pile of pretty products, because AI can’t generate you!
Your Creative Thumbprint brings together illustrators and product creators to help attendees discover their unique visual identity and turn it into a full line of sellable products.
On this page, you’ll find all the resources designed to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible and answer any questions you might have. You’ll also have access to our new speaker hub app where you can find the links and forms you need to submit all your info.
This time, you’ll access everything through your own personalized Speaker Hub. It’s a private dashboard just for you, reached through a unique link I’ll send once you’re confirmed. From there you’ll submit your bio and headshot, upload your presentation, turn in your Spark Pass contribution, and grab your promo materials, all in one place instead of hunting through emails.
If you run into a question I didn’t answer, email me at team@kimberlycosta.com.
As a speaker, you’ll also get free access to the Spark Pass!
Use these links to access all the important information you need quickly
how it’ll all
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
Accept & Join as a Speaker
Turn in your Presentation
Help Us Promote the Summit
Connect with Attendees
Make Affiliate Commission
The event will run October 23–25, 2026 with several pre-recorded presentations running each day. These presentations will include 25 – 45 minutes of content (with a 3-5 minute pitch).
Along with the presentations, there will be a Summit Lounge for attendees to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. You’ll also be able to go live in the Summit Lounge for a bit of an encore to answer questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value.
The additional Live Q & A is not required but we’ve found speakers who do this live session connect in a very special way with attendees. You don’t have to show your face if you don’t want to, you can share your screen to share your products or work if it makes you more comfortable.
I have also provided a Canva Template to design a worksheet/workbook that will accompany your presentation. You can also just include a template that accompanies your presentation if you’d like. I’m also happy to design your worksheet for you.
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have a promotion period running October 7 – October 26, 2026. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I’ll even have a suggested posting/sending schedule for you to make promo easy to outsource to a VA.
During the promotion phase, as the summit is running, and for a week after the summit is complete, we’ll also be promoting two tiers of the Spark Pass. The Premium Spark Pass includes unlimited access to all presentations, bonuses, contributions, and live sessions. The Essential Spark Pass includes unlimited access to all presentations only. This will provide immense value to our attendees, while making the work of promoting and creating a presentation worthwhile by allowing you to bring in affiliate commissions!
So this all sounds great, but what kind of work does it require of you? Let’s chat about it! My goal is to make this all as easy as humanly possible so we can all have a blast while providing great value and growing our businesses.
1 Basic Info
The first thing I’ll need is some very basic information from you so I can finish up our registration page and Meet the Speakers page.
This information includes things like:
- Name
- Title
- Bio
- Square headshot
Once you give me the thumbs up that you’re in, I’ll send your personal Speaker Hub link so you can upload this directly. Basic info will be due September 8, 2026.
2 Presentation & Resource
Next up is your presentation! This is a 25-45 minute pre-recorded presentation that is meant to be more friendly and casual than perfect and structured. We want our attendees to learn something great, while having fun in the process.
Please structure your content in a way that allows attendees to walk away feeling like they’ve really learned something, rather than a webinar format where they feel like they’re missing something that they need to buy from you asap.
We also encourage you to think about this as a workshop since creative skills/activities are better learned by watching what you’re doing. Consider sharing your screen and allowing attendees to watch you work as you teach. This can be extremely powerful!
Here’s a list of the presentation formats that you can select:
- Slides
- No slides (just your beautiful face)
- A mixture of the two
- Screen sharing to really show attendees what you’re doing
No matter what format you choose, you are free to use your presentation however you’d like in the future.
Your presentation should include great, actionable content. Here’s a suggested format:
- A quick introduction
- An overview of your topic & (if applicable) how practicing this skill helps clear your mind
- Teaching section – we encourage you to share your screen and show them how you work
- Specific ways that this skill set can be applied to one’s business (you can give examples of how to use the skill in a real business setting)
- Up to a 3-5 minute pitch to one of your products/courses
- Include questions for attendees to think about
Presentations due: October 5, 2026 uploaded directly through your Speaker Hub.
3 Spark Pass Contribution
The Spark Pass will be a huge addition to the presentations we’re running. To make the Spark Pass even more valuable, I’ll ask each speaker to contribute one resource. This includes things like:
- Courses (big or small)
- X-month memberships
- Templates
- Products
- Toolkits
- Apps
Note: The Spark Pass converts well so please don’t contribute 1:1 offers as this could get overwhelming for you to deliver.
It’s totally up to you to decide whether you’d like to create something new or provide something you already have. This isn’t required, but it’s highly encouraged as contributing upgrades your affiliate commission from 40% to 50%.
We do ask that you do not include something that you’re giving away for free elsewhere and that it’s valued at a minimum of $27.
Information for these resources is due on October 5, 2026. You’ll have a form to fill out directly in your speaker hub to make passing the information to me nice and simple.
4 Promotion & Participation
The power of an online summit comes from a group of experts coming together for a single cause. The joint promotion that happens because of that is a huge benefit to everyone involved.
Because of that, everyone is asked to share once on social media and to send at least one solo email to their lists during the promotion period, starting October 7, 2026.
You’ll want to share using your affiliate link (which you can set up here) so you can get in on the 40% commission (50% if you contribute a resource) that will come from any Spark Pass sales.
You’ll also find swipe copy and graphics in the Resource Vault.
And last comes participation during the week of the event. Since we’ll already have done the work of creating the presentations and extra resources, we’ll be able to sit back and relax for the most part!
All I ask is that you participate and interact in the Summit Lounge throughout the week to help attendees with any questions regarding your topic and to stay excited and engaged.
While you are not required to attend the events of other speakers, it’s highly encouraged! We’ll be able to get some great discussions going about the topics being presented and you’ll be supporting fellow speakers and having them support you!
Your Speaker Hub
This is new for this round! Instead of juggling forms, email threads, and Google Drive links, everything speaker-related now lives in one place.
Once you confirm you’re speaking, you’ll get an email with your own unique link, no account or password needed, just click and you’re in. Your Speaker Hub is where you’ll:
- Submit your bio, title, and headshot
- Share the link to your presentation video (once it’s recorded and uploaded)
- Fill out your Spark Pass contribution details
- Check your deadlines at a glance
Swipe copy, graphics, and other promo assets live in the Resource Vault and your Speaker Hub will link straight to it, so you always know where to find everything.
While summits are great for overall visibility and making new connections, a little extra income never hurts either, right?
That’s exactly why I’ve set up an affiliate program for the Spark Pass where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made on 11/09/2026 (approximately 2 weeks after cart close).
The Spark Pass will be offered in two tiers: The Essential Spark Pass and the Premium Spark Pass. The Premium Spark Pass will be the traditional Spark Pass that offers access to presentations, live creative sessions, and bonuses. The Essential Spark Pass will offer access ONLY to the presentations.

- Essential Spark Pass
$37 Fast Action, $57 Early Bird, $97 Regular Price - Premium Spark Pass
$67 Fast Action, $97 Early Bird, $147 Regular Price
The commission structure is as follows:
- 40% for all speakers
- 50% for all speakers who include a premium bonus to the Spark Pass

To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault includes things like email swipe copy, social media copy, and social share graphics. However, you’re more than welcome to write your own copy and even run your own Facebook ads.
Just remember to use your affiliate link, which you can create or look up here.
As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
