The Premium Speakers agency combines international speaker expertise with personal service. The agency provides inspiring keynote speakers, moderators and experts worldwide and from all industries.
The right keynote speaker should not only be an expert on the topic but also a good fit for the target audience, the occasion, and the desired impact of the event. Key factors include the industry, event format, language, budget, and whether the presentation is intended to inspire, inform, motivate, or provide concrete impetus for change.
Premium Speakers helps you find the speakers who are the best fit for your event and your goals from a wide selection of international speakers. Through personalized consultation and years of experience, we can significantly narrow down the selection.
The sooner you request a keynote speaker, the wider the selection. Speakers in high demand and international figures are often booked several months in advance. For important events, it is therefore advisable to start planning as early as possible. Learn more about the ideal time to book a keynote speaker.
However, last-minute bookings are also possible. Thanks to our international network, we can suggest suitable speakers and check their availability even on short notice, depending on the topic, date, and venue.
A traditional keynote speech typically lasts about 30 to 60 minutes. Depending on the event, a shorter, 15- to 30-minute presentation or a longer, interactive format may also be appropriate.
Which presentation format is best depends on the goal of your event. A keynote is particularly well-suited for providing inspiration, new perspectives, and powerful messages. Workshops and masterclasses go into greater depth and allow for direct interaction with participants. Panels, interviews, or moderated fireside chats can also be good alternatives to a traditional presentation.
Yes. Many keynote speakers tailor their presentations specifically to the company, industry, target audience, and occasion. During a briefing or preliminary discussion, topics such as the event’s objectives, current challenges, and relevant issues are discussed.
Depending on the speaker, examples from the company, industry trends, or specific questions can be incorporated into the presentation. This results in a keynote that is not only relevant to the topic but also tailored to the specific audience and the event’s objectives.
Currently, presentations on artificial intelligence, leadership, transformation, geopolitics, the future of work, innovation, motivation, and resilience are in particularly high demand. Topics such as sustainability, corporate culture, digital transformation, and managing change also play an important role at corporate events.
Which topic is right for your event depends heavily on your target audience and your current challenges. Premium Speakers will advise you on selecting a suitable presentation topic and recommend appropriate national and international keynote speakers.
