Selecting a conference keynote speaker is one of the most important decisions that a meeting planner or conference committee will make. Each week there are tens of thousands of presentations made about the United States and beyond. Some will be amazing. They will be memorable. Meeting participants will take actions to change their lives. The keynote speaker will cultivate a culture at the event that will create lasting change. A great keynote speaker is amazing.
While some speakers are great, others will will just be okay. Mediocre presentations are the status quo in the world of business. While nobody complains about a keynote speech that is neither motivational nor inspirational, we have all sat through these talks that are just “Meh”. Those in the audience always hope for a amazing and inspiring keynote speakers, but often get average talks. An average conference keynote speaker wont ruin a meeting, but audiences deserve more. You want more as a planner.
Worst of all is that some speakers talks will be a total miss for your audience. The keynote address at some events will fall flat. Public speaking is a skill, and not all speakers are ready from prime time. Others will say the wrong things and offend someone. When a talk goes poorly, it is painful for the participants and the planners. A keynote speaker who fails can suck the energy out of the whole event.
A speaker with real world business experience and a strong set of presentations skills is what every planner is looking to hire for their keynote. But motivational speakers are similar to artists. The craft is subjective. Some will like a Jackson Pollock painting and others will not. The same is true of conference keynote speakers.
