Conference Speaker Ideas
I have been asked to serve on a planning committee for a large national conference in our industry. We like to get interesting speakers on broader topics like politics, leadership, or just cool stuff. Crowd 1,000-2,000 also possible breakout sessions. To be held next summer (will no doubt have a political panel with a Rep and Dem).
Looking for recommendations - someone you think would be interesting or have heard. For example, Terry Bradshaw was a very entertaining speaker several years ago, Col. Tibbits (I think), former Air Force One pilot during 9/11 also very interesting with great stories. Thanks! |

I have heard a few that were really good.
Sal Khan from the Khan academy was one of the more recent that had a good presentation.

Thanks - this is an annual event that draws nationwide. Will be out west this year but travel is possible, right? Probably 1-2k attendees, typically friendly crowd.

Until a couple of years ago when the department for the publishing company I work for moved to my floor, I never had any idea that "Speaker Bureaus" existed.
When I started getting to know the people there, the list of speakers we pimp out is unbelievable with any topic you can think of. I guess everybody is available to rent for a function for a price. I'd start by checking out a few Speaker Bureaus and seeing who is available to suit your needs. Good luck

Not only is he entertaining, he 'stumbled' into cryptos in a very unique and interesting way as an otherwise 'regular Joe'. He also has plenty of other areas he could potentially delve into. |
