What type of speaker will suit you best?

Keynote Speaker

Keynote Speaker is the lead speaker who sets the tone for the conference. A Keynote Speaker talks extensively on a specific topic or industry to address the conference theme to the whole audience. 

Invited Speaker

Conference organizers may take the initiative to invite a prominent speaker from a related field or with rich experience in the industry to deliver a motivational speech that reinforces the themes and builds on a specific topic. The invitation is mostly on the basis of the nomination from committee members.
