How many speakers do you need for a conference?

The number of speakers depends on the duration and set-up of your conference. For a one-day conference, 3 to 5 plenary speakers is a good guideline, supplemented with workshop leaders for parallel sessions. For a multi-day conference, you can schedule more speakers.

The most important thing: choose speakers who fit your theme and audience. Read more tips in our full article on organising a conference.
