Speaker Information + Resources
Hey hey! I’m so excited to team up with you to create a summit experience that’s going to be absolutely incredible.
The Master the Art of Food Photography Summit is a 4-day free event that will help food photographers, stylists, art directors and food bloggers turn their love of food photography into a successful creative business by upleveling their skills and growing their professional network.
On this page, you’ll find all kinds of resources meant to make your life as a speaker as easy as possible and answer any questions you might have. If you run into a question I didn’t answer, email us at summit@littlerustedladle.com. You can also DM Jena @littlerustedladle.

Summit Structure
Let’s do a quick rundown of how the whole thing will work.
The event will run from May 7-10, 2024 with 15-20 pre-recorded presentations by food photography and styling experts (that's you!).
Along with the presentations, there is a Facebook group for attendees and speakers to hang out in, hold each other accountable, and ask all of us additional questions. If there is a really lively conversation happening in the chat during your presentation, I’d love it if you could go live in the Facebook group for a bit of an encore to answer those questions, connect with the attendees, and provide even more value. I'm happy to join you in the room if you'd like!
The additional Facebook live is not required. Those who have done it for other summits had a great time and the attendees went nuts!
There are plenty of other ways to participate in the summit, including but not limited to:
- Contributing a bonus to the VIP pass
- Hosting a giveaway on the @LittleRustedLadle IG feed
- Including a freebie with your presentation to gather emails to your list
- Attending the Thursday-night networking event
- Going live with Jena on social media during the promotional period
- Becoming an affiliate
You can let us know all of those details on the Bonuses and Participation form (this year compiled all in one place to streamline the processes).
Leading up to the summit, we’ll have two weeks of promotion. You’ll be provided with email swipe copy, social media swipe copy, and social media graphics to make it all easy! I also hope to 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 the VIP Pass. This includes access to the replays and bonus offers like eBooks and mini-courses contributed by your fellow speakers. 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. Yay!
As a speaker, you'll also get free access to the VIP Pass!
What I Need From You
Here are all of the vital links and submission forms you'll need to have a successful summit experience. 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.
Affiliate Details
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 VIP Pass where you’ll receive a commission from all sales from traffic you refer to the event. Payouts will be made automatically 14 days after the referred sale via Paypal.
The commission structure is as follows:
- 40% for all speakers
- 50% for all speakers who include a premium bonus
The pricing structure for the VIP Pass is as follows:
$97 fast-action price available within 20 minutes of sign-up
$129 early-bird price (before the summit starts)
$147 regular price
To make it as easy as possible for you to generate extra income, the Resource Vault will include 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 below.
As with all affiliate promotions, be sure to disclose that you’re an affiliate when sharing with your audience.
NOTE: We use a first-cookie system, so promote early and often!
