How do you attract speakers for a knowledge festival?

Attracting speakers starts with a sharp theme they want to add something to. Offer a clear platform: audience size, content framework and what their story sparks.

Approach speakers well in advance, at least three months ahead. Work with a mix: one defining keynote speaker, subject-matter experts and surprising outsiders.

Pay fairly or offer a valuable return such as exposure, network or a special experience. Use existing speaker agencies for well-known names, but also search directly via LinkedIn or trade media. Create a solid speaker brief with technical details, time slot and audience profile.

Live Impact books speakers within every proposition and budget, and ensures a perfect fit with your storyline.
