Speakers and facilitators - the focal point of your event

Ask any delegate what they remembered most vividly about a conference, and the vast majority will no doubt point towards the speakers.

The reason is simple - the speaker takes centre-stage and is the focus of the delegates’ attention. Every aspect of the speaker’s performance, most significantly their words, tone and body language are absorbed and interpreted.

An effective speaker is a positive ambassador for your business

Whether your speaker is an employee or not is irrelevant. When that individual takes the podium and addresses your delegates, they are perceived as a representative of your company. For this reason it is crucial that your speaker:

• Understands the values of your business.
• Is knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject matter they are presenting.
• Can speak clearly, confidently and competently.
• Can address each group of delegates in an appropriate manner.
• Has the ability to engage, motivate and inspire.
• Is perceived by the delegates to be a credible authority.

To find all the necessary qualities in one individual can be challenging. Many companies resort to asking a senior member of staff to act as a speaker or facilitator; however, there are numerous benefits to hiring a third party, not least the fresh perspective and approach.

BlueSky Experiences provide access to a range of speakers and facilitators offering a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines, either as a stand-alone service or as part of a wider event management package. Call us today to discuss your individual requirements.
