What's going on in the speaker market, internationally?

I always like to know - not always easy to find out. But now you have the chance to be one of the first to get a full report on the state of the industry and to participate.

We've partnered with our friends over the pond, SpeakerFlow, who every year produce the State of the Industry Report. It’s a great tool to help us understand how our industry has changed over the last year, what expert businesses are experiencing real-time, and where everyone thinks the industry is heading.

As their partners it means we can give you first-access to the survey. And not only that, but when the report finding are live, you’ll get access before everyone else. All responses are completely anonymous and it’s designed to take a deep look into how all of us run our business so we can share insights on what’s working, what’s not, and what’s to come in 2023. It’s important that we all share this survey to every other paid Speaker we know - the more data, the better. 

Here’s the link to take the survey, you’ll need about 30 minutes.

The survey will close on 15th January 2023 and the final report will be published in mid-late February and you’ll be amongst the first to receive it. Thank you in advance for helping the industry understand where we’ve been, where we are, and where we’re going. We couldn’t do this without you.

Finally, I have an early Christmas present for you.  This is a link to the Global Economic Significance of Business Events Report by the Events Industry Council.  It was written in 2018 as a one-off analysis of the global business events market. Since then, the market, although there was a bit of a blip (if I can call a pandemic a blip), has grown further, and added virtual on top of in-person events.  If ever you are in any doubt about how much business there is out there for paid speakers, just pick this up and cheer yourself up.  The market is significant.  Enjoy.
