Tara Conner
Biography

Tara Conner is a Television Personality and Recovery Advocate. Through her work, she shares her experience, strength and hope with audiences throughout the United States.

Conner was crowned Miss USA in 2006. During December of that year, she entered the Caron Treatment Center and completed 30 days of treatment for alcohol and drug addiction. She has since celebrated 9 years of sobriety.
Tara hopes to raise awareness that addiction is a disease and that many people go on to lead a healthy, productive life in recovery. She especially wants educators, families and professionals to know that sobriety at an early age is achievable and that it greatly enhances life's possibilities.

"It's so important to understand that addiction is a family disease," said Conner. "I experienced this firsthand within my own family. But I've also learned that through treatment and recovery you can break the cycle."

In addition to her advocacy work, Tara is a television host, singer/songwriter, actress, and model. She can also be found on Twitter at @TaraConner

Featured Keynote Programs

Alcoholism/Addiction Prevention

This particular topic is good for high school students, and parents. I talk about the pressures of being a high school student, and the risks of using at a young age. I also give statistics on how the dependence percentage drops the longer a student abstains. For both parents and students, I highly encourage an open line of communication on the topic of drinking and using, and speak openly about my own experience.

Perfectionism

Through telling my personal story, I examine the walls I created as a young child, and the development of my perfectionism. I share candidly about my struggles from childhood, and how I used my perfectionism to protect myself. In my journey to recovery, I was able to see how this was one of my greatest shortcomings. I realized that I could never find peace of mind because I could never live up to the unrealistic expectations I put on myself. Today, I share about breaking down those walls I built as a child, and how I accept myself as being perfectly imperfect.

How do I book Tara Conner for my event?

Booking Tara Conner with Premiere Speakers Bureau is a streamlined 4-step process:
  • Availability Check: Contact us with your event date and budget to verify if your desired speaker is available.
  • Hold Date: We place a temporary "hold" on the speaker's calendar while you finalize internal approval.
  • Contracting: We issue a contract outlining the fee, cancellation policy, and event expectations.
  • Logistics: Once signed, our event management team handles all travel booking, itinerary, and AV requirements.

Why should I partner with Premiere Speakers Bureau rather than contacting speakers directly?

Partnering with Premiere Speakers Bureau provides a comprehensive safety net for your event that direct booking cannot match. You get the same speaker for the same price, but with a dedicated team with over 30 years of event experience handling contracts, logistics, and are prepared for any emergency. We know what it takes to run an excellent event.

What makes Premiere Speakers Bureau unique compared to other agencies?

Premiere Speakers Bureau distinguishes itself by having over 30 years of experience while partnering with more than 35,000 events. PSB has also built a streamlined, fully online process that makes booking a speaker, handling travel and payments extremely easy for anyone looking to plan a speaker led event.

How does Premiere Speakers Bureau's 'Zero Cost Service' model work?

Premiere Speakers Bureau operates on a 'Zero Cost Service' model for event planners. Our services—including research, booking, and logistics—are always free to the client. The speaker covers our commission from their standard honorarium as payment for our role in marketing and managing their engagements.

How are speaker fees structured, and what is typically included?

A speaker's fee typically covers the keynote presentation, a pre-event planning call, and standard customization. Travel expenses are usually billed separately.

What are the standard policies for speaker travel and expenses?

Travel expenses are negotiated during contracting. We generally recommend a flat travel fee for simplicity, though we also offer line-by-line invoicing when preferred. PSB ensures these expenses adhere to professional standards, and our Event Portal allows for easy tracking and invoicing.
