Number Three: Seminar Leaders
Any expert on a particular topic or subject whose objective is to educate and or motivate. Their delivery is usually more conversational than that of the Keynoter—with a longer format that allows more interaction between the presenter and the audience. Seminar speakers can truly vary based on the needs of the clients and attendees. It’s best to connect with one of our talent consultants to discover your criteria.

Number Four: Workshop Facilitators
Similar to teachers in a school, these presenters usually work with smaller audiences—which allows for more individual attention. The facilitator can provide guidance as participants practice
using newly acquired knowledge and understanding skills.
Number Five: Trainers
They are workshop facilitators who specialize in hands-on training of a specific skill—which will later be used by the participants in their work. Generally, trainers are hired to train employees at the organization’s own facility and only occasionally at a meeting or convention.
Number Six: Industry Speakers
These are speakers with expertise or a reputation in a particular industry or field. The specific information they impart is usually of special value only to a particular audience. For example, a popular industry would be marketing.

Number Seven: The Entertainer
They are used mostly for general sessions, dinners, banquets, parties and special events. These can be humorists, comedians, mentalists, hypnotists, skit and industrial show actors, jugglers, dancers, variety acts, musical attractions and whatever else the mind can conceive of. The Categories are endless.
