The primary factor in deciding what kind of event or keynote speaker to hire for your next meeting or conference is twofold: the subject matter and the audience. There really aren't any leaders per se, it depends on the kind of group or conference you plan to have them address. For example, if you have a business audience you obviously want a well known and successful business man or woman. Donald Trump frequently serves as the keynote speaker to this type of audience. If the meeting is a woman's group, you most likely want a well-known woman executive. If they also have celebrity status, so much the better.
Speakers are available for every conceivable purpose and industry and you can easily find them or the bureaus that handle their bookings online on the internet. There are business speakers, motivational speakers, healthcare speakers, training and consulting specialists, celebrities, best selling authors, sports stars, personal growth experts, global affairs experts and entertainers, to mention just a few categories. The list is almost endless.
In the technology field, there are many well-known leaders from companies such as Microsoft, IBM, Boeing, Motorola…and more. They appear regularly as keynote speakers at trade shows and other meetings. So don't even consider trying to find out which speakers are rated as best. There's simply no pat answer. It depends on your topic, your audience and how much you're willing to pay.
Looking for Event Venues for your next gathering?
What is suggested is that you take a reasonable amount of time to peruse the many pages of internet listings. Many of their bureaus and representatives list their key speakers and briefly describe their backgrounds. Others ask you to answer some basic questions about what you're planning and, based upon your answers, offer up their candidates for you to choose from. It's pretty certain that you will find a selection of suitable candidates and be able to hire one or more that will fit the bill.
We all love celebrities and would feel safe choosing a well-known person or star as our keynote speaker. So take your time and look, look, look. It's pretty likely that you will even find one or more in your industry or business whom you've heard of.
