How long are you going to stay in your comfort zone, knowing there is more waiting for you on the other side? You already have the talent, but talent alone does not open doors. Visibility does. Connection does. Showing up does. You do not get discovered sitting at home. You get discovered when you are seen, heard, and when you’re in the right room at the right time with the right people. So, the real question is, are you putting yourself in those rooms? Because the Top Talent Hollywood event is back for the third time, and it is one of them.
Happening from May 5 to 7, 2026, in Hollywood, this three-day experience is built around visibility, credibility, and expansion. Top Talent Hollywood is designed for speakers, authors, show hosts, business leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, non-profit partners, and content creators who are ready to expand their reach and be seen, heard, and positioned at a higher level.
Built By Experience
What makes this event stand out is not just the opportunity, but the people behind it. Top Talent Hollywood is led by Sir David T. Fagan and Isabel Donadio, two individuals whose careers have been built at the intersection of media, influence, and positioning.
Sir David T. Fagan is a media strategist, producer, and former CEO of Guerrilla Marketing, a global brand responsible for over 23 million books sold in 62 languages. He is also the former owner of LCO Communications, a Beverly Hills PR firm that represented 58 Academy Award winners, 34 Grammy winners, and 43 New York Times bestselling authors. He has produced docuseries and biopics, including the award-winning Invisible to Invincible and Against All Odds, and is the author of the current bestselling book The Respect Effect: Your Guide to Growing Your Influence, Credibility, and Exposure. His work focuses on helping experts become visible, credible, and influential across media platforms.
Isabel Donadio is a four-time bestselling author, international speaker, and founder of Top Talent Agency. She is a recipient of the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award and was named a Special Envoy of the United Nations in 2024 for her global humanitarian impact. Her work reflects a strong commitment to creating meaningful, lasting change through both business and service, while helping experts expand their visibility and influence on a global scale.
With leadership like this, the experience becomes more than an event. It becomes a platform for transformation.
Opportunities to Be Seen, Heard, and Elevated
For those ready to step into the spotlight, the Speaker Contest offers a chance to take the stage, be evaluated on impact, and position yourself as a serious voice with real opportunity. This is not just a contest. It is a launchpad.
Then there is Dolphin Tank. Dolphin Tank introduces a different dynamic. While it echoes the familiar format of pitch-based shows, its tone is notably collaborative. Participants present ideas in front of a live audience, but the emphasis is placed on refinement and support rather than critique. The goal is to elevate concepts in real time, creating momentum rather than pressure.
For those who may not be able to attend the event in person or prefer the written word, pen to paper, there is a golden opportunity for you. The Top Talent Hollywood Columnist Contest gives writers the chance to step into visibility without stepping on stage. Just your best 1,000 words. With one submission, one deadline, and no elimination rounds. This is one of the most accessible ways to gain high-level exposure. The grand prize is a six-month column in a major city publication. Your name, your face, and your expertise reach millions of readers every month. Real credibility and real bylines that open doors.

What People Are Saying
Attendees from previous events consistently highlight the power of connection and unexpected opportunity.
Stephanie Keys shared, “My children and I are monetizing our God-given gifts, talents, and ideas. I got my son to come out, and he was offered a job while he was here. This is an amazing community.”
Sir Dr. James Dentley said, “You need to be here because it is really about those relationships that you are going to build that can transform your life forever. Someone is waiting to meet you. You are looking for the person who is looking for you while you are looking for them.”
These reflections point to something important. The idea that certain environments create the conditions for change, even if that change cannot be predicted in advance.
A Different Kind of Decision
So here you are again, faced with the same choice. Stay where it is comfortable, familiar, and predictable, or step into a room where something could shift. The truth is, the right opportunity rarely announces itself twice. You already know what happens when you do nothing. The better question is, what could happen if you showed up?
In the end, events like Top Talent Hollywood are less about attendance and more about choice. The choice to remain in familiar spaces or to step into environments where visibility becomes possible.
