Tips for Finding the Right Speaker for your Event

Your speaker selection is one of the most important elements in a successful meeting. Selecting the right speaker for your meeting can be a daunting task, as speakers are available in every fee range and specialty topic.

This following is derived and edited from article by by National Speakers Association.

1. Determine the needs of your audience Thorough knowledge of the needs of your group is essential in selecting the right speaker. Does your meeting require that the audience leave with specific or technical information? Do you need someone to motivate the group to sell?

2. Establish your date, time and budget Start looking for a speaker as soon as the date for your meeting is set. Consider how much time you have to fill and where that time falls in your overall program. Factor in the fee you are willing or able to pay for a speaker.

3. Identify the type of speaker who will best match the needs of your audience A speaker's expertise in a given field may be the big draw, but a well-‐known name does not guarantee a professional presentation. High prices don't always mean high quality.

4. Locate your resources Speakers bureaus locate and book speakers according to your specifications and needs. A bureau can locate speakers and quote fees.

5. Review your options and interview your speaker

candidates A professional speaker will be a real partner in this process. Find a speaker who will tailor his or her presentation to your group.

6. Select your speaker • Hire a professional and you'll hire an ally • When selecting your speaker, consider that

you are not only paying for the time the speaker is on the platform but also for the hours spent researching, preparing and customizing the presentation

7. Get it in writing You should have a letter of agreement or contract that clearly outlines the expectations of both you and your speaker.

8. Work with your speaker Share information about your group or company.

9. Set the stage • Make sure the room is set up for optimum

impact. • Stay on schedule. • Your speaker should be able to provide you

with a good introduction of themselves and their topic. The introduction should be short, energizing and create positive expectations.

10. Evaluate the results Have your audience complete evaluations on the speaker and his/her presentation. Send copies of the evaluations to your speaker.
