Welcome Magicians To Sin City
Esteemed Magical Beings,
The enchanted journey of your time at Hogwarts is on the brink of beginning!
Many wondrous preparations must be made before your grand arrival in Las Vegas, where a truly magical experience awaits you. To ensure your adventure unfolds with the utmost brilliance, kindly heed the following instructions, and you shall be prepared for all that lies ahead.
And finally, Dumbledore Ernesto Verdugo, the Headmaster himself, whose focus is entirely on conjuring the magic of this event.
With great pride, we present the esteemed Conclave of Mentors, welcome you to the 21st Edition of Speak Internationally's Credibility Staging Events, held in none other than Hogwarts Las Vegas!
Before you embark on this extraordinary adventure, allow us to introduce the magical team guiding you through this spellbinding experience.
-Joan Voortman Verdugo, our illustrious Keeper of Eternal Moments – she captures the very essence of the magic happening around you.
-Kelley O'Heara, our behind-the-scenes Guardian Angel of Harmony and Podcaster Extraordinaire – weaving the unseen threads that make this event run smoothly while sharing her enchanting wisdom with the world.
- Frank Mulcahy, the wise Archmage of Messages a true expert in weaving words and crafting enchanting communications.
- Eric Yaillen, our steadfast Host, Organizer, and Tech Wizard Supreme – the magical maestro who ensures the event unfolds seamlessly, his tech prowess powering the magic behind every moment.
A visit to Hogwarts requires constant communication—after all, how else can we stay in touch across such vast realms?
While owls are quite reliable, they can be a tad slow when the urgency calls for instant exchange of magic. For this very reason, every witch and wizard attending the event must join our Secret Communication Circle.
Mind you, this enchanted group is reserved only for those 100% confirmed to attend our gathering in Vegas. If you’re merely a curious mortal or a wandering soul, beware! A mischievous spell may be cast upon you, and you might find yourself transformed into a purple-toothed, dancing llama forever prancing through the corridors of the castle!
For this extraordinary pilgrimage to Hogwarts, we’ve chosen the Tuscany Suites & Casico as our Event Headquarters. Do you have to stay there? Absolutely not—you’re free to choose your own quarters. However, a word of caution: Las Vegas hotels can be as tricky as a Transfiguration lesson, offering one price, only to surprise you later with a pesky Resort Fee of up to $75!
But fear not! Our Magical Sorcerer, Eric, has cast a powerful charm and negotiated an exceptional deal with the hotel to waive these pesky fees. From January 26th to 30th, the rate is a mere $79—NO hidden fees—but here’s the catch: when you visit the website, you’ll see a price of $179. That’s because the rate starts on Saturday, January 25th. If you change your dates to the 26th-30th, the rate drops to $79.
Time is of the essence—we need to book quickly to ensure you secure this magical rate! If you haven’t reserved your spot, now is the time!

Squibs, Muggles, Wizards, and Grand Wizards, as you well know, our gatherings are unlike any other. We don't simply meet in one place—these events stretch across realms, with different venues and various magical stipulations. Some places, especially in the enchanted land of Las Vegas, require additional fees for entry, meals, and even security.
These extra charges are not included in your tuition, and they must be paid before stepping through the portal to our event.
For first-time Squibs attending these events, the first-timer’s fee will be $510.
For those already enrolled in our 1-year program, even if it's your first time attending, the fee will be $275
Attention, Esteemed Magicians!
As you may well know, your grand departure shall take place from none other than Platform 9¾ at Paddington Station. Yes, your adventure begins even before you set foot outside your home! In preparation for this magical journey, it is of utmost importance that you Check-In for the Experience.
Now, dear travelers of the arcane, this is no ordinary check-in. It is a magical rite that ensures your name appears on the Sacred Registry of Hogwarts. Without completing this most vital step, entry to the hallowed halls of Hogwarts shall remain sealed! We implore you to take this moment seriously—failing to check-in means you may find yourself wandering the muggle world rather than enjoying the wonders of Las Vegas.

1. Agree to the terms and conditions of this enchanted gathering. 2. Confirm your arrival and departure dates, allowing us to prepare the proper spells and portals to ensure your safe and timely passage.3. Process the Mandatory Recovery and Collective Contribution Fee—this essential contribution fuels the magic that brings this experience to life. Remember, it is through your support that the enchantment thrives!
PRE-EVENT TRAINING
In days of old, our gatherings would span over 7 to 10 days—an adventure that, though wondrous, required considerable sacrifice, especially for those leaving their daily duties behind. We’ve heard your requests, and in response, we’ve condensed the experience into just 4 ½ days. This enchanted shift honors your bustling schedules and lightens the burden of accommodations and other expenses.
To ensure you’re fully prepared for the magical journey ahead, we’ve arranged 4 essential pre-event training sessions. These are designed to elevate you to the status of a Key Person of Influence, a vital step on your path to mastery. The videos you’ll find below were recorded in preparation for our Montana Event, but rest assured, this knowledge is indispensable as you venture toward Vegas.
Additionally, we’ve prepared 2 extra training sessions to further refine your craft. And yes, the replays will be available below as well. However, these sessions are centered around preparing you for an enchanted training in Stagecraft, where you’ll learn to wield the power of the stage and become a true Stage Master. It is crucial that you watch these videos before setting foot in Vegas, and that you participate LIVE in the Wednesday session prior to the event.

We're currently in the process of updating this page. While some of the content might be from previous events, we believe it remains relevant and useful. A common query we receive is about what to wear and what to pack for the event. To address this, I highly recommend watching our informative videos. They're packed with insights on personal branding, and they'll likely answer many of your questions.
Additionally, our final call, intriguingly titled "Next Step Hogwarts," is dedicated to addressing any remaining queries you might have. This will be a fantastic opportunity to get fully prepared, as it's scheduled at least a week before your arrival in Houston. Please ensure you watch each video to familiarize yourself with what to expect at the event. Your preparation will enhance your experience significantly!

You’re attending a Branding Event, and here’s a vital truth: 55% of your success on stage comes from how you look.
The same rule applies to your brand. If you present your brand the way you dress every day, you’ll blend into the background and fade.
Worse, wearing the wrong 'clothes' for your brand can make you look unprofessional—or even ridiculous.
So, you’re gearing up for a Branding event where cameras will capture your every move. Fantastic! Except… most people show up dressed as if they’re preparing for another day at the office. WRONG.
Here’s the thing: none of us are born natural posers—unless, of course, you’re a Gen Z TikToker perfecting your pout in front of ring lights.
For the rest of us, posing is a skill, and it’s one you need to learn.
Watch these two (select guys or gals) videos before the event, or you’ll risk looking as stiff as a Madame Tussauds wax figure—or worse, like someone trying to blend in with the furniture.
I’ve warned you: if your photos turn out dreadful, you’ve got no one to blame but yourself!
HOMEWORK:1. Practice in front of the mirror2. Discover your good angles 3. Look at yourself at the mirror with the attires you will use for your branding
