1. When only a celebrity speaker will do how to choose the right one While many companies are switching over to TED style events, there are times when a famous celebrity or big name speaker is needed to reel in attendees, hook their attention, and sink in your message. From Olympic athletes to actors and authors, to superstar CEO’s and tech- legends, celebrity speakers come in all shapes and sizes. And while we know there are a number of famous celebrities that you would love to speak at your event to wow the audience, sometimes a big name alone isn’t always enough. Choosing a celebrity speaker who best suits your organization and the purpose of the event is what most often determines the success of an event.

It’s no doubt why celebrity speakers are highly sought after, their charismatic and engaging presentations tell inspiring real-life stories of success. But when looking for a keynote speaker remember that celebrity speakers come in all shapes and sizes. You don’t need to book Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk (as much as we love them!) for your event to be a huge success. What really determines the success of an event, and makes for the most affecting keynote, is when the celebrity speaker is just the right fit for you and your event.
