The High-Impact Keynote Speaker Selection & Technical Rider Worksheet

Selecting Speakers Who Drive Value

A great speaker can define an event, but a poor technical setup or a misaligned message can derail your ROI. This worksheet helps you vet candidates and manage their technical needs effectively.

Part 1: Speaker ROI Evaluation Matrix

Score each potential speaker from 1-10 on the following criteria:

• Topic Relevance: Does the content solve a specific pain point for your audience?
• Draw Power: Will this speaker's name increase ticket sales?
• CRM Integration: Can the speaker provide lead magnets that sync directly to your CRM (like HubSpot or GoHighLevel) via Tixified?
• Delivery Quality: Based on previous reels, is their stage presence engaging?

Part 2: The Technical Rider Checklist

Never assume the speaker will bring their own adapters or clickers. Verify these items 30 days before the event:

Part 3: Speaker Logistics & Hospitality

Ensure a smooth experience to build long-term relationships:

• Confirm travel and accommodation bookings.
• Provide a detailed "Arrival to Stage" timeline.
• Assign a dedicated speaker handler for the day of the event.
