To ensure the success of your next virtual event, it is critical you choose the right speaker. Whether you are organizing a live event or session, virtual meetings can pick up where you and your team left off in terms of training. Here are a few tips to help you deliver those key takeaways to your home-bound attendees:
Experience with Virtual
When you choose business motivational keynote speakers for your events, ask them for specific details about their presentation. Visuals create more value for the audience, contributing to their understanding and filling in language gaps that are not visible to the camera. If possible, get a sample of their presentation decks or previous recordings to give you some idea about the supporting materials they use.
Respect for Time
A live audience is a captive audience. That is, they simply can’t leave unless they have a good reason to pull out of the session. When you pick a speaker, make sure you find someone who respects your audience members’ time by not dragging out discussions. Also try to make sure they have a track record of starting and finishing on time.
Familiarity with Technology
Go with speakers who know how to use technology and the specific tools required for the event. Ask question like: Do they have the right video hosting platform? What kind of platform works for your audience? What’s the most popular form of technology that they use?
Record and Re-Present
Just like most online events, find a way to make sure you can easily record and share the presentation. You can upload parts of it on your own channel or website. By recycling these materials, you will optimize value as it can also be a jumping off point for future content in addition to serving as future training materials. Work with speakers who know how to make the most out of these mediums and presentations.
