Car stereo systems spring to mind when you think of keynote speakers. Until I learnt about keynote speakers, it did for me anyway! Keynote speakers vary from speaker to speaker- so here's a few pointers. Key note speakers- what do they do? At an event or conference, the primary speaker is normally the keynote speaker. If you attend a less formal after dinner event, the key note speaker will come on after the comedian. They will be the prominent public speaker at a formal conference. At different events the keynote speaker's purpose can vary. Conference speakers or public speakers have to stand up and speak to and audience. Normally there are intending to purvey a particular message. It might be a humorous message, or a motivational one for a work force. How much does a keynote speaker cost? Fees for keynote speakers can drastically vary. This is largely based on the speakers reputation for delivering a good speech. A local businessmen might turn up for free to promote their business. Celebrity speakers cost gold dust since they bring audiences in. The speaker will normally charge a fee for their travel and accommodation. If in doubt, rather than approaching speakers directly, you may wish to approach keynote speakers agency. There are lots of benefits to using a speakers bureau. They can normally pick the bad from the good speakers. Negotiating on your behalf should also be possible if you give them a clear budget. They will be able to tailor a speaker specifically to your event, as well as taking care of all the difficult arrangements. What makes a successful keynote speaker? Sending on a boring speaker to address thousands of people wouldn't be a good idea! That is unless, you have a grudge against your guests! A bagful of traits will be in the arsenal of a professional keynote speaker. A super confident keynote speaker is essential. When addressing thousands of people, the keynote speaker must keep their nerve. After all, confidence will melt into the audience. Key as well, is charisma. We don't pay attention to boring people. We do however stand up and take note of inspiring people. Thus a charismatic speaker is more likely to have an influence on an audience. This is particularly useful when trying to sell something, or give your staff a kick up the backside! Finally, without knowledge and experience of what they are speaking about, a keynote speaker would be hard pushed to deliver an effective speech. Thus motivated people make good motivational speakers. Sports speakers should generally have won at least something. High flying business people make good business speakers.
