At Women Impact Business, we believe the right speaker doesn’t just fill a slot on your agenda — they shape the tone, energy, and outcomes of your event. Whether you’re hosting a global conference, a leadership summit, or an internal company gathering, the voice you choose at the front of the room matters more than ever.
Why an Exceptional Speaker or Emcee is a Game-Changer
First impressions last. Research shows audiences form an impression of a speaker within the first 30 seconds (Harvard Business Review, 2021). A skilled speaker or emcee sets the energy, builds a connection, and establishes credibility from the start.
Engagement = retention = action:
- 70% of attendees say a great speaker is what makes a conference memorable (EventMB, 2023).
- Events with strong speakers see up to 50% higher attendee satisfaction scores and a greater likelihood that participants will act on what they’ve learned (PCMA, 2022).
The ripple effect of storytelling
Stories are 22x more memorable than facts alone (Stanford Graduate School of Business). A gifted speaker doesn’t just share data — they bring it to life in ways that inspire change.
The inclusive impact of diverse voices
Audiences today want to hear from authentic, diverse, and relatable speakers. 76% of event attendees say it’s important that speakers reflect a diversity of perspectives (Meeting Professionals International, 2023).
What Makes a Speaker or Emcee Exceptional?
- They align with your mission and audience, tailoring their message to resonate deeply.
- They create connection and energy, moving beyond a speech to create shared moments.
- They navigate dynamics with grace, especially emcees, who can elevate the flow, keep momentum, and ensure inclusivity in every interaction.
- They inspire action, leaving your audience with more than good feelings: they leave with purpose.
