Toronto, Ontario, September 29th, 2026, FinanceWire

Speaker Slam, North America’s premier inspirational speaking competition, has announced that public relations expert and Influencer Press founder Ulyses Osuna will join the judging panel for the upcoming Speaker Slam Grand Slam Finals.

Ulyses Osuna brings a decade of elite media experience to the competition, having positioned high-profile entrepreneurs, CEOs, and thought leaders, including Ed Mylett, Codie Sanchez, Iman Gadzhi, and Brandon Dawson, in major business publications, including Forbes, Inc., Entrepreneur, and Business Insider.

His appointment comes during a milestone year. Transitioning to the front of the camera, Osuna has featured as a guest on Dr. Phil’s podcast, joined a live panel at Nasdaq, sat across from Shark Tank’s original shark, Kevin Harrington, for a filmed sit-down on Harrington’s podcast and more.

This year’s Grand Slam theme, "Catalyst," challenges final contestants to deliver transformational speeches that provoke change, ignite action, and spark movement. With AI rapidly altering traditional public relations and message delivery, Osuna brings a timely perspective on media dynamics, story distribution, and modern authority.

"I’ve spent ten years helping leaders build undeniable authority and step into the national spotlight," said Ulyses Osuna. "The Speaker Slam stage represents the raw power of a message delivered right. On a theme like ‘Catalyst,’ I’ll be looking for speakers who don’t just deliver a great speech, but who command the room and offer a story that can spark real-world transformation."

As a judge, Osuna will evaluate final contestants on narrative impact, stage presence, clarity, and their ability to move audiences and media alike.
