Top Tips for Choosing a Guest Speaker


 
Business
Finding the right guest speaker is a critical part of planning a business conference and could mean the difference between a successful event and one you would rather forget. A guest speaker’s main aim is to offer nuggets of wisdom and insight to inspire and motivate conference attendees.

There are many things to consider when choosing a guest speaker. Are they invited purely to add value to the business experience being covered, or are they there to entertain or contribute something far afield from the business itself? Either way, if you’re planning to host an event at one of Brisbane’s many corporate conference venues, make sure you research your guest speaker options well ahead of time.

Consider these tips when searching for a guest speaker:

Entertainment vs message

Deciding on the appropriate blend of entertainment and meaningful message that you want your guest speaker to deliver will help you choose a speaker suitable for your event. Some guest speakers offer 100 per cent entertainment value while others focus almost exclusively on corporate content. A great guest speaker will be able to tailor their presentation to suit any conference theme and topic.

Types of guest speakers:

Different conferences require different guest speakers, and the final choice will depend largely on the aim of the event and the list of attendees. Motivational speakers are popular choices as they can provide an inspiring presentation built around powerful stories and personal experiences. Celebrity speakers are another type in high demand. They provide a name which will draw people to the event but generally have the highest fees. It’s also important to keep in mind that a celebrity speaker is usually bought for their fame, not necessarily their platform skills. When it comes to guest speakers, you can’t go wrong with a bit of comedy. Professional humorists are hired for their ability to combine their comedic talents with a message to fit your needs. Finally, there are industry speakers. These are people with expertise in a particular industry who lecture on a specific topic. They’re not known for their entertainment or motivational value but are hired for their ability to inform.

Fees

There is usually a direct correlation between a speaker’s fees and the quality of their program. You normally get what you pay for.

Testimonials

Genuine testimonials will give you an indication of a speaker’s quality and history of recent performances. Ask business associates for speakers they recommend and seek feedback from clients of speakers you are interested in hiring.

Interviews

Interview your top three choices for guest speakers and make a selection based on the person who best meets your expectations. If possible, you may even wish to attend an event they are speaking at to view them in action.

When it comes to conference venues Brisbane has a large selection available so it’s important to keep location in mind when choosing your guest speaker. Will the speaker have the option of accommodation at the venue? Do the facilities accommodate the speaker’s needs (for example, consider the availability of lecterns and audio visual equipment)? Some corporate conference venues have an event planner or manager who may even be able to recommend guest speakers. Finally, the success of any event relies on research and planning. Be sure to select and book a guest speaker in the early stages of planning to avoid disappointment.
