Congrats! You have made your choice for your keynote speaker.

So what now? This ??

❌ Choose a topic from their website and hope for the best?

❌ Expect them to show up and know what to present?

❌ Have them focus around their new book so they can sell it?

NOOOOOOO!

Do this! ?

? Set up a pre-event call within 30 days from the date of your event.

? Provide as much background information as possible about the event, the organization, their industry, and the attendees prior to the call.

? On the pre-event call focus on the content of the presentation.

? Leave A/V logistics and nuts and bolts technical issues for email or a separate call.

? If there are media like video, slides, and music make sure you get those files and assets prior to the speaker’s arrival.

? Schedule a soundcheck well in advance so the keynote speaker schedule’s their flight in order to accommodate the soundcheck

Are you doing all of this?

We make sure this happens and so much more for all of our clients.

This is what they are saying…. ?

“Seth and The Keynote Curators are the best talent agency I’ve ever worked with. They add value at every stage of the content planning process for big events and small. Most speaker agencies I’ve worked with in my career are transactional—I want a speaker, they want a fee—but Keynote Curators is creating value long before any fee transactions ever happen. They are strategic, they take the time to understand what we’re looking for (often when we are not quite sure ourselves), and they show great attention to detail.” – C. Fitzgerald, Etage
