How to choose the speaker for your online event?
Choosing a speaker for a conference , seminar, online course or other educational event can represent both success and failure in the production. Regardless of whether the audience is 100 or 2,000 people, this stage of the organization is a great challenge for those who are behind the scenes.
And, to make the right choice, it is necessary to analyze a series of factors, identifying the ideal professional for your event. It is also worth remembering that the cheapest, the most expensive or the most famous will not always be the best option.
We list below some items that will help you in planning your next events, whether online or in person. Check out!
What is your lecture's audience profile?
When planning an event, you need to keep in mind what would make the audience and customer happy. When deciding the topic of the lecture online and choosing the speaker, identifying the profile of the audience is more than essential.
In commemorative events with a heterogeneous audience – families or teenagers, for example – a speaker with a motivational profile may be the best option. For an event aimed at company directors, a big professional name may be more attractive.
Lectures with a technical character, aimed at training, require the speaker to master a certain area and not be a generalist, as he may face questions from a very critical audience.
In other words, you ca n't choose someone just by name or price . It is necessary, first of all, to know your audience and their needs!
What is the event format?
Conference, congress, lecture, symposium, workshop … there are several possibilities for your event and, depending on the depth in which the topic of the lecture will be covered, it is necessary to opt for specific profiles of professionals .
So it's important to think about it: Will this be a short talk for parents of students or a seminar on writing techniques for executives? A short sales pitch course or a workshop on a new IT solution?
According to the load of knowledge that will be transferred, analyze whether it is worth hiring a speaker, lecturer, professor or consultant, for example.
What is important in a speaker?
There are speaker characteristics that are able to capture the audience's attention and thus make the event more interesting by talking about their area of expertise. Some of them are:
Credibility
Analyzing the credibility that the speaker has in his/her niche is one of the most important characteristics to consider before hiring a professional. That's because your credibility will not only affect the view that attendees have of it, but also the view of your event as a whole.
However, as we have already mentioned, valuing credibility does not mean choosing the most expensive or most famous professional. There are several recognized professionals, with good oratory and good reputation that can make sense in your production. Just look!
Originality
There's nothing more tedious than hearing the same story in every lecture and seminar. Therefore, the ideal speaker is the one who is aware of trends, current success stories and who is able to escape common sense, seeking a different approach than their fellow speakers.
A creative professional can see a new angle to a story and imprint style and passion in their lines. Lectures that only repeat what books and articles already say do not gain prominence and tend to become obsolete.
Punctuality
It may even seem obvious that the hired professional's duty is to arrive on time. However, we know that in the business world things are not quite like that. Especially in the case of very famous speakers or those who have another parallel profession, punctuality does not usually appear as one of the most frequent virtues.
Knowing this, it is important that you talk to other producers and check the listed professional's history of cancellations and delays before closing a contract with him.
Have you ever thought about having to “roll up” an audience of executives who have separated a disputed time from their schedules to attend your event, or who came from different cities just to participate in it? It's better not to risk it!
#TicaSympla: if you choose to hire foreign professionals , don't forget to check the schedule considering the difference between time zones.
Sense of humor
The truth is, some people in the audience will be there out of obligation, while others will be there because they really want to know about the topic. However, a lecture can become monotonous for both profiles if the speaker does not have good flexibility.
To hold everyone's attention throughout the lecture period, it is important that he knows how to intersperse serious periods with funny stories or witty phrases , which draw attention and excite the sleepier ones.
However, be careful when choosing comedian speakers, who exaggerate the dose of jokes. Also, get to know his work and see if the tone of humor is compatible with your audience and the character of your event.
Do not forget!
In the case of a hybrid event or a 100% in-person event that requires the presence of a speaker who does not live in the city where the event will take place, it is up to the organizer to arrange and bear the costs of transportation and accommodation to accommodate. it. So, make reservations and have everything ready to receive you.
Our final tip is: do a lot of research and weigh the pros and cons of each of your options. With a planning that values the good experience of the participants, it is possible to organize an unforgettable event due to the content passed on, and not the place of the lecture or the coffee-break.
