Why would I need a Conference Speaker?

Everyone benefits from outside perspectives, insights and ideas from different industries or experiences.

Conference speakers are a fantastic way to engage your audience, provide a different take on your themes, and distinguish your event from industry peers or competitors.

Whatever your sector, audience or brief, a conference speaker will connect and inspire, leaving attendees motivated to take their experience into their working environment and beyond.

How do I know a speaker or event host will work in my conference?

Before recommending speaker or host options, we will discuss your expectations, event goals, audience, budget and theme. We cover everything from the dynamics of the room to what success looks like for you. Learn more about JLA here.

Using our years of industry experience, knowledge and insight of speakers and hosts, we will guide you in selecting the right person. We see hundreds of speakers and hosts in person, every year, and we talk regularly to many more.

In some cases we may be able to discuss a brief directly with someone before any formal commitment is made. We will discuss the brief for the speaker/host, and arrange a pre-event briefing call to align expectations and ensure their talk and presentation style is relevant and impactful.

How much do Conference Speakers cost?

JLA works with clients of all types, from small businesses and trade and industry bodies to global brands. We understand that event budgets can vary significantly, so we offer access to thousands of conference speakers across a wide range of fees, from a few thousand pounds to six-figure sums.

With help from our expert account managers, you can source the perfect conference speaker for your budget and event. Contact us today to learn more.
