There are a number of practices involved in event planning and one of the crucial ones is finding the right keynote speaker who can keep the audience engaged. Irrespective of the number of efforts being put into the setup, the location, catering, and design etc., the lack of a dynamic speaker may be a turn off for the attendees. After all, it’s the keynote speaker’s job to set the tone and establish the underlying theme of the event. If the speaker fails to do so, regaining the audience’s attention might seem like an uphill battle. How do you find the right keynote speaker, you may ask! Here are some of the tips to help you out:

 

1. Perform a Google Search

This might be the most obvious thing to do but it a pretty smart tactic. Google can give you a lot of information and find out agencies with the best keynote speakers. The best part is, once you have selected the one for your event, you may go ahead and research more about him to know whether he fits the role. 

 

2. Poll Attendees for Ideas

Your audience will already have attended a lot of events. They are the best judge then and polling your event’s attendees to ask them who they would like to hear is an amazing way to get started and discover what interests them. You will have a list lined up that might come in handy for future events as well. 

 

3. Search Speaker Databases

There are many websites such as the National Speakers Association, SpeakerHub, SpeakerMatch, etc. that allow you to filter speakers based on industry, topic, and budget. You may explore any of these to arrive at a speaker that best suits your requirement. 

 

4. Look through Publications

Scanning through the latest publication may give you a lot of ideas. Whether it’s the new sites, bestseller lists, or even blogs, you may see who is turning up repeatedly and making waves in your industry. Those who are also into writing besides keynote speaking such as Suhel Seth, Counselage India may turn out to be great keynote speakers. 

 

5. Look for Speakers Who Support Your Cause

If you have an NGO or a company that supports non-profit organizations, then there might be a speaker out there or even a celebrity supporting the same cause. It could be about battling any disease, animal slaughter, child education, or even businesses going green. The chances are high that they might be willing to attend your event for no or little compensation.
