You’ve probably hired keynote speakers before and know what to expect: they show up, deliver their talk, and leave. But top-tier speakers can offer far more value than just their time on stage. There’s a hidden world of additional services that can transform a standard presentation into an in-depth, thorough, or detailed experience for your attendees. If you’re not tapping into these extra resources, you’re leaving significant value on the table – value that could make the difference between a good event and an unforgettable one.
Beyond the Podium: Pre-Event Strategy Sessions and Custom Content Development
While many view keynote speakers solely as presenters of engaging content, top speakers often offer a wealth of additional services that add significant value to your event. Beyond delivering compelling presentations, they can provide expert guidance and support to guarantee your event’s success.
When working with a top speaker, consider the following pre-event strategy sessions and custom content development services:
- Pre-Event Strategy Sessions: Tailor presentations to resonate with your audience, enhance speaker preparation, and safeguard clarity on roles and responsibilities. Industry experts and thought leaders can provide valuable insights to align content with your organization’s goals.
- Custom Content Development: Use pre-event surveys to understand attendee preferences and adjust content accordingly. Pre-event surveys can provide valuable insights into attendees’ preferred topics and session formats.
- Audience Insights: Conduct market research to build attendee personas and inform content decisions.
- Content Refinement: Encourage speakers to break down topics into smaller pieces and add unique experiences to convey a deeper message.

Virtual event speakers and organizers are also motivated by the fact that most virtual event organizers do not charge for attending virtual events, allowing for a broader reach without financial barriers.
Digital Assets and Extended Impact: Recording Rights and Online Resources

- Key Points to Consider:
- Obtain Prior Consent: Get explicit written permission from the speaker before recording to avoid privacy and copyright issues. Reproduction and public performance rights must be addressedcopyright ownership.
- Specify Contractual Terms: Include terms on recording rights, distribution, and royalties in the speaker agreement.
