GoKawiilEntrepreneur contributor outlines six vetting questions for hiring event speakers
A professional keynote speaker who has worked with Amazon, Hewlett-Packard Enterprise, LinkedIn and WebMD has published guidance for event organizers on choosing speakers, listing six questions to ask before signing a contract. The first recommended question asks organizers to define what should be different for attendees after the session, rather than simply picking a topic or a famous name. The speaker also recommends treating the selection process like a hiring decision, including talking to multiple candidates and checking references.
