You’ve got your next big event coming up, and as you settle on everything from venue to catering, you still need to figure out the largest rallying piece of the puzzle—a speaker. A speaker can get your audience or team members more engaged and involved in the event, changing their mindsets from one of complacency to attend to excitement to be there. So, as you scroll through your options, why would you only choose one speaker?
Choosing joint speakers for your next event can be the boost you need to have a successful conference!
Gain Two Leadership Perspectives
The best thing about joint speakers is their different perspectives. You not only get influential leaders to speak on topics that can positively impact you and your team, but you also get two different perspectives on those topics. Each speaker comes from their own background, education, and viewpoint, allowing for multiple conversations to be had about subjects such as leadership, economic development, public policy, and conflict management.
Crowd Engagement Will Increase Ten-Fold
Speakers already increase crowd engagement, but when you bring in two speakers, the audience has a larger opportunity to connect with who’s on stage and what is being said. They have the chance to connect with one speaker over another, hear two sets of ideas, and be more entertained by the leaders in front of them. The two speakers can ask questions, speak with the audience, and provide more opportunities to connect with those at the event. This can help your attendees leave more excited and eager to implement anything new they learned.
Stage Presence Will Be Electric
You don’t want your event to be boring. You want your crowd to be listening, entertained, and enamored by those on stage. Bringing joint speakers can make the event more lively and impactful for those watching. Joint speakers will already have their own relationship with each other, and they can bring their personal anecdotes and connections on stage with them, allowing for a more electric conversation between them and the audience. Their connections with each other can help the audience feel a part of the conversation.
Two Mindsets Promote Collaboration
If you want your audience to leave the event feeling fired up and ready to implement what they were taught, joint speakers can help advocate for that. When your attendees can watch the joint speakers talking to one another, bouncing ideas off each other, and having a collaborative conversation about the topics at hand, it will better motivate them to leave the event doing the same thing. They will leave with ideas in their head, ready to discuss them, and work with their team members on what they were taught. Collaboration can increase when two mindsets and personalities are on stage.
Get More Expertise on Your Event Topic
The most significant benefit of having joint speakers at your event is the increased knowledge and expertise on the topic at hand. If your event focuses on leadership strategies or community infrastructure, you can have double the input when you bring on two speakers. Your audience members can learn double what they would with one speaker, and you can ensure they feel fulfilled. With increased expertise, your event can be more impactful to those who attend.
