Booking Your Keynote Speaker… The Struggle is REAL!

Christina is Your Easy Button to Create an Experience Full of

Finding Clarity

When it comes to planning your event, there are hundreds of tiny details you have to consider. Each event element is a puzzle piece that needs to be placed just so.

Consider your corner and side puzzle pieces; these are the “big things” for your event: the venue, date, and theme, for example.

Their placement is precise.

If only everything were so clear.

The Power of the Right Keynote Speaker

Engage Your Diverse Audience

The middle of your event puzzle is murkier. These finer details, like your speaker lineup, particularly your keynote speaker, can take a fair amount of time and thought. And many times, no matter how dedicated you are to finding the perfect fit, choosing the right keynote speaker still feels like you’re taking shots in the dark!

The good news is that people attending your event often do so for a common reason. The theme resonates, or the outcomes that your event has promised align with their needs.

So, in some respects, finding the right keynote speaker should be easy.

But a few things always make it more complicated.

First, the reasons why your theme resonates or why your event feels aligned will be different for every registrant.

Second, you don’t want someone who treats speaking as a job—that is, the person who shows up, gets paid, and then disappears. You want a collaborative partner.

Finally, finding a single speaker whose presentation gives your entire audience actionable tools and relevant perspectives can be challenging. You already know this—you’ve seen the speaker submissions! And none of the presentations they’re suggesting quite tick all the boxes, do they?

Sure, their presentations can support your event and attendees.

But none of them can serve as the heart of your event puzzle.

Until now.
