Our commitment to delivering the best begins with truly understanding you.
Selecting a keynote speaker isn’t just about browsing through a list of names; it’s about ensuring that the person you work with fully grasps your vision and needs. At Epic Keynotes, our process starts with an in-depth consultation to align with your event goals, audience, and the impact you’re hoping to achieve.
Understanding Your Event Goals, Audience, and Speaker Qualities
Before we even consider suggesting a speaker, we take the time to dive deep into your event’s specific objectives. We don’t just ask about the basics like event overview or budget; we focus on truly understanding your goals, the themes you want to highlight, and the emotional connection you want to create with your audience.
This involves uncovering the key outcomes you’re seeking, identifying the challenges your audience faces, and pinpointing the emotions you want them to experience.
Our consultative approach ensures we’re aligned with you, allowing us to identify the qualities your ideal speaker must possess—whether it’s a dynamic presence, expertise in a specific field, or the ability to connect on a personal level with your audience.

Determining Key Requirements for the Keynote Speaker
We also dig into what the speaker needs to deliver beyond the stage. What does your speaker need to do onsite? What are the customization expectations or are there specific pre and post-event needs? Do you need to record the speaker?
We take care of these logistical considerations upfront, including travel logistics and technical requirements, to ensure a seamless speaker selection process.
This comprehensive approach guarantees that the speakers you consider will also align with your operational needs.

Your Strategic Partner
We go beyond being a typical “speaker provider” by acting as a strategic partner invested in your event’s success. This consultative phase is the foundation of everything that follows. By taking the time to understand your needs in detail, we can present speakers who are not only the best fit but also fully aligned with your vision.
By establishing this level of detail up front, we streamline the speaker selection process, ensuring not only that you are presented with the best possible options, but also that the speakers you are considering are willing to fulfill your requirements.
Remember...
The Epic Difference extends beyond just having top-notch keynote speakers. We've honed our processes to ensure that every speaker you engage with us leaves a lasting impact—one that echoes well beyond the closing applause.
