The Event Organiser’s Toolkit: The After Dinner Speaker

Are you hosting a conference and hoping to attract a large audience? Are you looking for ways to make an annual general meeting unforgettable? Are you anxious about introducing your latest product or business technique to colleagues and employees? Are you struggling to promote an upcoming charity fundraiser and worried donations won’t be high enough? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then it might be time to consider an after dinner speaker.

Many event organisers would agree that in any of the situations mentioned above, an after dinner speaker would be their weapon of choice. In cases where an after dinner speaker has a little bit of celebrity, the effect could be even better. And that doesn’t just include convention, TV celebrities, but anyone who is respected in their own field.

In the business world, an after dinner speaker might attend anything from the dinner following an AGM, a training day or a conference. In this example, a speaker with experience of a certain field would be more appropriate than a typical celebrity. An after dinner speaker who is highly respected in their field may be able to convince your audience that this new technique is the way forward.

The after dinner speaker is also highly useful to fundraisers. A famous face, provided he or she is appropriate to the charity and the expected audience can make a massive difference. Even before the event, the very mention of your celebrity after dinner speaker can arouse interest. Along with interest comes increased attendance and increased attendance almost certainly boosts funds. Therefore, an after dinner speaker can really make a difference.

It isn’t easy to choose an after dinner speaker. A showbiz, or television celebrity may be the obvious choice, but ensure that the audience’s age, gender and any common interests are taken into consideration before making any concrete decisions.
