I might get a guest speaker to speak on a topic that everyone is interested in or would like more info on.

I was at the meeting tonight... our guest speaker cancelled at the last minute but we were all invited to sit in on a John Burley presentation, so it worked out.  

10x Your Grind as The Popular Speaker Grant Cardone would say.

We try to get a guest speaker every now and then, but the last two meetings, we've just been analyzing properties together - all BRRR's.

I have guest speakers most months.I am also in a large local REIA that has about 350 people.

It is a small group, not like the large REI groups that have speakers.  

You say you like this speaker but only get occasional one-on-one's with the president, and he is who you sound like you really want to work with. 

I would focus on attending the events that have quality speakers that you can hear for a fraction of the cost. 

Johnson's is just networking with no speakers.

Here are a few of our ideas so far...Finding hot deals for themDoing a weekly or monthly 5 @ 7 with a speaker (guru) in their niche that shares value with themBlogging and vlogging to provide them more valueWhat else would you add or what strategy would you use?
