You Don’t Need More Speaker Choices. You Need The Right Speaker Choices.

Selecting a keynote speaker for your event isn’t just about scrolling through a list of names until something catches your eye. It’s a deliberate process that should align perfectly with your event’s goals, audience expectations, and desired impact.

At Epic Keynotes, we understand the significance of this decision, which is why we employ a meticulous and intentional approach to guide our clients through every step.

Understanding Your Event Goals, Audience, and Speaker Qualities

Our speaker selection process begins with a deep dive into understanding your event. We don’t just ask about the basics like event overview, audience demographics, and budget.

We believe in a consultative approach that uncovers the essence of your event—its goals, themes, and the specific qualities your ideal speaker must possess.

By investing time upfront to align our understanding with yours, we ensure that every speaker recommendation we make is not only relevant but capable of delivering the impact you seek.

Rather than inundating you with endless options, we carefully curate a selection of three speakers per round, often leading to a swift and confident decision in the first or second round.

Determining Key Requirements for the Keynote Speaker

Beyond the stage performance, we delve into the practicalities. 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 handle these details proactively, ensuring that logistical considerations such as these, as well as travel arrangements and technical needs are seamlessly integrated into our speaker selection process.

This comprehensive approach guarantees that the speakers we present are not only talented but also aligned with your operational and logistical requirements.

Establishing the Speaker Review Procedure

Navigating the decision-making process can be complex, especially when multiple stakeholders are involved. We streamline this by establishing a clear review procedure from the outset. By defining timelines, setting expectations for feedback, and outlining the criteria for evaluation, we ensure that every stakeholder has a role in the decision-making process.

This structured approach fosters collaboration and efficiency, minimizing the risk of compromises in speaker selection or delays due to decision paralysis.
