Hiring an Event Chair

Speakers Academy is here to help you find the event chair that best suits your event. Event
chairs are highly valued at large live gatherings, and they can also be invaluable for digital
events. We specialise in matching the most suitable event chair to your specific needs. For
some events, a female event chair might be the best fit, while for others, a different approach might be more appropriate. Are you curious to know which event chair would be the perfect match for your event? Speakers Academy is available by phone at +31 10-433 33 22 or via our contact form.

Chairmanship: The Impact of a Good Event Chair

While speakers may only be present for a short time during an event, an event chair remains with you throughout the entire event. This continuity allows the event chair to significantly elevate your gathering. The stories shared by Speakers Academy’s speakers are often inspiring and motivating, but they can also be challenging or evoke strong emotions (this is, of course, discussed with you in advance and aligned with the experience you want to create at the event). In such cases, the event chair acts as the balance keeper. The best event chairs from Speakers Academy also excel at bridging the gap between sometimes complex narratives and the audience’s everyday lives and work.

Before discussing the logistics or costs of hiring an event chair, it’s important to understand the role they play. An event chair is the leader of your meeting or event, guiding the proceedings smoothly. Good event chairs ensure that every speaker has their moment and often engage the audience as well. They have a significant impact on the energy and overall
experience of your event, ensuring seamless transitions between keynote speakers or introducing panels. Moreover, skilled event chairs can assist less experienced speakers (such as colleagues from within your organisation) in presenting effectively on stage. This might involve conducting an interview instead of a traditional presentation, allowing them to share their plans or experiences with the audience in a more comfortable and meaningful way.

What Types of Events Benefit from Having an Event Chair?

In the past, event chairs were primarily booked for large-scale, in-person events. It was common to see an event chair at a conference. However, today, event chairs are also available for online gatherings, panel discussions, internal meetings, openings, and more. Speakers Academy is here to connect you with event chairs that can be booked for webinars, online talk shows, and all other types of events. With years of experience,
Speakers Academy always knows how to match the right event chair to your occasion. Whether you’re looking for an event chair for a conference, a presentation, or an online event, Speakers Academy is ready to assist you!
