How to Introduce a Speaker : Asking the right questions during an interview can show your audience that you’ve done your research and that you’re prepared to talk about this person’s work. It also shows them that they are in charge of the conversation and that they aren’t just being talked at. But before you take your turn as interviewer, it’s important to understand how to properly introduce a speaker.
What is a Speaker?
In a speaker, the primary speaker is not on stage; instead, one or more secondary speakers are introduced before the main speaker takes the stage. Speakers can be introduced as experts in their field, celebrities, managers of current projects and other people who will provide insight into the theme of the speech.
Motives and Goals
As you are preparing to introduce a speaker at your event, it is important to have a clear goal in mind. Your goal might be to raise awareness or generate leads. You might also want to increase attendees or retain engagement from previous events. Whatever your goal is, you will need to find a way for the speaker and the audience member to connect.
Background and Contact Information
In order to introduce a speaker, you will need a hook to help the audience understand why this person is relevant. You might say something like, “An ex-con once said that success is like standing on the shoulders of giants,” or “A friend of mine once said that when the world turns its back on you, it’s time for you to step up.”
Speaker Debuts
The presentation of a speaker begins with the introduction. These introductions are typically between 30 seconds and 2 minutes in length, with the speaker speaking about themselves. This is followed by questions from the audience. The presenter always speaks last, answering any questions that arise from the presentations.
Taking Attention Away from the Speaker
One way to decrease the stress of introducing a speaker is by taking attention away from them. This can be done by giving out glowsticks with your company logo on them and having a mini-game for the audience to participate in. The competition will give them something to focus on, which will take their minds off of what is going on with the speaker.
Getting Started
To start, you should research the event on which you plan to introduce a speaker. What are the length of the lectures? How many years has the speaker been in business? Is there a fee for buying tickets or is it free? You should inform your friends and family about this event and encourage them to purchase tickets. Start by asking questions to learn more about their speaking style, topics, and expertise. Once you’re satisfied that they are a good fit for your event, schedule them for the date and time you want them.
A Performance Plan for Your Talk
If you’ve been invited to speak at an event, it’s likely that the person putting on the show is excited about your topic. You’ll want to talk about your expertise and all of the amazing things you’ve learned, but if you think all these ideas will come across as awkward or dry, you can help put your own performance plan in place and avoid some of those pitfalls.
Using Web Technology to Help Your Talk Stand Out
It’s not easy to stand out in an overcrowded field of writers, speakers, and business people. It takes a lot of work, planning, and innovation to make your talk unique.
