会议的基本议程一般包含三项：
即兴演讲
既定演讲
点评
整场会议由总主持人（TM-Toastmaster）串联。
三大环节介绍：
即兴演讲环节：
即兴演讲主持人提出问题，邀请某一个观众上台，该观众将针对此话题，发表1-2分钟的演讲。
借此来锻炼会员即兴演讲能力。
既定演讲环节：
会员根据演讲手册上不同项目的要求，经过一段时间的准备后，上台进行较长时间的演讲（一般是5-7分钟）。
会员通过准备，排练以及正式演讲过程中提高公众演讲能力。
点评环节：
由总点评人（General Evaluator）主导，点评人（Individual Evaluator）对演讲者的演讲做出点评，点评中会指出演讲的优点、不足以及改进意见。
借此来锻炼会员倾听与思考能力。会员之间相互点评，相互鼓励，共同提高，同时帮助俱乐部持续改进会议质量。
