WHAT MAKES CONFERENCE SPEAKER A GOOD ONE?

The presence of the speaker you book for any event can either make or break the whole thing.

Hearing a brilliant speaker getting a significant message across can both teach you something new and be a real pleasure.

On the other hand, suffering a tedious, unimportant bore repeating nothing more than what you already know can leave a bad taste in your mouth that can remain for the rest of the event.

Once upon a time, hiring a speaker was always a bit of a gamble: even booking the better-known speakers that had great credentials could be nerve wracking, since unless you had seen them personally at another event, you never knew exactly what you were going to get until the speech itself.

Today, fortunately, social media allows event planners to get a look at speakers beforehand and check out their moves, so to speak, in advance.

The following are some tips on what to think about when shopping for a speaker online:

Look at how they market themselves

In today’s world of social media promotion, reviews, and feedback, the speakers who find the most success are often the ones who are pro-active at self-marketing and quickly respond to any feedback they get online.

Start by taking a look at how apt the speaker you are interested in at using social media. Like, do they update their pages often and respond quickly to questions? Are they good at responding to both good and bad reviews?

This can also help you see how they will react to questions from the audience, again both positive and negative, during your conference.

Technology

Another thing to look at is if they seem tech-savvy.

Things like PowerPoint presentations and live video streaming can add a lot to a speech via visual stimulation for the audience, and a great speaker who is able to seamlessly work these into their speech can make an even greater impact on the audience.

Furthermore, try to find out if they can provide their own equipment or will at least be able to help in setting the equipment up, as this is obviously ideal for you.

How do they value their services?

It is recommended to be wary about speakers who offer their services for free.

Although this might initially appear as a plus, you may end up being very disappointed as speakers who do this tend to be either looking for experience (and hence are not already experienced) or have some agenda of their own, political or otherwise, to promote. Serious and experienced speakers will naturally want to be reimbursed appropriately for their time and expertise.

But “appropriate” here works in both directions: be wary too of those who try to inflate the image of their worth by inflating their price tag.

Be very careful about checking up on reviews and sample videos of highly expensive speakers to make sure that they really are worth the extra bucks (very often, to be frank, they are not).

Do they care about your audience?

The best speakers manage to show a genuine concern for their audience, and are eager to see them leave with a refreshed spirit and a wealth of new information.

If it doesn’t seem to you that a certain speaker personally cares about what kind of impact their words will have on others, then you are better off finding somebody else.

A great speaker doesn’t simply deliver their talk and then hop in a cab, but will get acquainted with the audience, address their questions and concerns, engage them in debate, and seem to genuinely care about that they say and think.
