75. What Event Planners Miss When Booking Speakers with Suzanne Knight
Monday, 16 March, 2026
You spend hours researching, vetting, pitching your stakeholders on a speaker. They think the speaker sounds great, you sign the contract, have a prep call a couple of days before, review their rider, and then get on-site.But what if there was more you could do before, during, and after your event to ensure your speaker has the impact that you want. Great speakers are an investment and not fully optimizing that investment means you're leaving opportunity on the table.In this week's episode, I'm chatting with professional speaker Suzanne Knight about all the ways event planners can get the most out of their investment. We talk about ways to make the day less stressful for the planner and speaker, ways to make your presentation more relevant, and how to plan for the unexpected.About Suzanne KnightConnect on LinkedInLearn more about Suzanne's servicesAbout the Host:Follow Shanondoah on LinkedInFollow Beyond the BEO on InstagramLearn more about Event Planning Services.Rate, review and subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts, and share it with your favourite #EventProfs.
