When you are planning a business event, you need to bear in mind that your guest speakers will be the focus and drawcard for the event, with the goal for them to be the highlight of it. However, the best business event can disappoint or even fail if the featured speakers don’t deliver the goods or wow the audience. So, how can you be sure you have booked the right speaker for your event?

The speaker programme needs to reflect the strength of the event, the theme and content, information, education and messages on the day, providing the purpose of the occasion, so you need to know what requirements to keep in mind when choosing a guest speaker for your next business function.

Every decision you make when planning a corporate event or business function starts with your budget. Look at the funds available, and be realistic about your budget and work within your means when hiring your guest speakers.

Remember to account for additional costs, like travel allowances and accommodation, and if you are using a third party booking service to secure your speakers, be sure to make your budget limitations clear from the outset.

Next you need to consider the purpose of your guest speaker, and what you expect them to bring to your event. Are they expected to motivate and educate your attendees, or simply to entertain? If it is to motivate, be sure to review their resume to see if they have experience speaking at similar events. If they are being booked to entertain, be sure that their performance style is suitable for your business and event.

It is also important to be mindful of your audience and the demographic make up of your event. Don’t book a speaker just because you really like them or you’ve always wanted to meet them or see them speak. Stay on track with the brief so you deliver exactly what all stakeholders are wanting.

The secret to hiring the right speaker for your event is to ensure that they match your audience’s general demographic. Remember, an edgy hip and confident entrepreneur may not necessarily appeal to a group of conservative upper management types, and vice versa.

Choosing the right guest speaker can spark inspiration and stimulate incredible positives for those attending easily elevating your next business event from the merely satisfactory, to the huge success for which you had planned, and for more information on celebrity speakers and masters of ceremonies please go to https://www.platinumspeakers.co.nz .
