What Are The Different Types Of Speakers You Can Decide On For A Conference?

There are many different forms of speakers to choose from. The type of speaker that you choose will depend on a number of factors. For a start, where is your event being held? If it is in a pub, then perhaps the event is a little more low key. For a business event, you will be searching for a more up-market speaker. The second big factor deciding on a speaker would be the audience. For your sales team, choose a motivational or inspirational speaker. On the other hand, for a casual event for entertaining clients, you may wish to opt for a sports speaker to talk about their past achievements.


Motivational speakers perform exactly as their name would suggest. Motivational speakers motivate people. Very often the only thing holding people back is their own negativity. There is no magic wand for motivational speakers- they tell it as it is. What they do is replace the negative thoughts with positive ones. A positive thinking person is then far more likely to engage in positive action. There are many different techniques used. Psychology is very often used. A prime example of this being the use of NLP. Other motivational speakers differ in that they are far more hands on. It’s all about facing fears for the audience.


The delivery of a sports speaker is normally a little more laid back. For example, the most popular sports speakers are very often former footballers. Names such as Jimmy Greaves frequent the circuit. If you are a football fan, what can be more entertaining than an ex-professional recall past memories? They will very often talk about their achievements, as well as revealing secrets from the dressing room. Depending on the sports speaker, the speech is normally delivered in a humorous fashion.


There are those that specialise just in comedy. If for example you are entertaining guests, then what better choice than a comedy speaker. Having your guests in stitches is no doubt going to be more entertaining for them than a business speaker. Comedy speakers normally come before the main speaker to warm the audience up. Though the main purpose of the speech is to laugh, comedy speakers do often use this to deliver a serious message.


A Business speaker is far more serious. Though they specialise in a wide area of topics, business speakers normally come from one specific area of business, such as marketing. To be informative is the main role of a business speaker. A business speaker therefore normally educates the audience on an area of business.


Inspirational speakers are not too dissimilar to motivational speakers. Typically an inspirational speaker has to have achieved something significant. The feat is normally achieved with all odds stacked against them. The idea is they can inspire the audience to do great things. If they can achieve what they did against all odds, what is stopping the audience members?


It’s vitally important to choose the right keynote speakers. What do you want to achieve from the day, and how much do you have to spend? If your event is high profile, you may have the budget to choose different forms of speakers.
