1 Provide feedback and testimonials

One of the most valuable things you can offer speakers is feedback and testimonials from the audience and organizers. Speakers want to know how their presentation was received, what they did well, and what they can improve. You can collect feedback through surveys, polls, or live Q&A sessions, and share it with the speakers after the event. You can also ask the speakers for permission to use their name and photo in your marketing materials, and provide them with positive testimonials and endorsements that they can use for their own promotion.

In addition to compensation, there are some instances in which travel and lodging are covered. If that's not an option, there is always the offering of a nice meal. There's also the kindness of a glowing recommendation or referral to other businesses.

La rétroaction en faites est le meilleur savoir si leur message est passé, témoignages du public, des recommandations. Vous pouvez aussi utiliser des moyens tels que: Billet d'avion, hébergement, des abonnements gratuits...

Introduce the speaker's brand, and advertise their content well, mention their social networks, and highlight the wonderful benefits of following the speaker.

2 Offer exposure and networking opportunities

Another way to compensate speakers is to offer them exposure and networking opportunities. You can showcase their expertise and credentials on your website, social media, newsletters, and other channels, and invite them to join your online community or network. You can also introduce them to other speakers, sponsors, partners, or attendees who might be interested in their work or collaboration. You can also feature them in podcasts, webinars, or interviews, and give them a chance to share their insights and opinions with a wider audience.

There are two types of professional speakers; those who show up and are deeply involved and those known in the business as 'Panda speakers' (turns up, eats, shoots and leaves). As a professional global speaker, I'm keen on networking, referrals and testimonials. I want to work more than once with a company; I'd love to earn a place at the family table and become a regular resource in workshopping and seminars after the event. Whilst it's impossible to judge a speaker and their ability to offer additional services before watching them perform, and considering what other services they offer which might be helpful to you, may I suggest opening the door to this if it's something you'd want or need, with them, as soon as the event is over?

3 Give access and recognition

A third way to compensate speakers is to give them access and recognition. You can offer them free or discounted tickets to your conference or other events, and allow them to bring a guest or a colleague. You can also give them access to exclusive content, resources, or tools that are relevant to their field or interests. You can also recognize their contribution and achievements by presenting them with certificates, awards, or badges, and thanking them publicly during the event or afterwards.

I have participated in various talks, and I have realized that gratitude is actually very satisfying, it adds value to the message you communicate, and shows importance that your presentation is really worth it.

An event is an experience for the speakers as much as the attendees. Reward them for their contributions with a more profound experience. The specifics depend on your population and event type. The safe option is hosting a VIP dinner with the speakers and key attendees; presumably, they have similar interests, so a higher level of access will allow them unique and valuable interactions. You can also consider private tours, exclusive parties, or a visit to local attractions outside the venue. Layering a memorable experience on top of a smooth and respectful speaker journey will separate your event from the pack.

4 Provide learning and development opportunities

A fourth way to compensate speakers is to provide them with learning and development opportunities. You can offer them coaching, mentoring, or training sessions that can help them improve their skills, knowledge, or performance. You can also invite them to attend workshops, seminars, or courses that are related to their topic or industry. You can also connect them with experts, mentors, or peers who can offer them guidance, feedback, or advice.

5 Customize your compensation package

A fifth way to compensate speakers is to customize your compensation package according to their needs, preferences, or goals. You can ask them what they value most, what they are looking for, or what they are working on, and tailor your offer accordingly. You can also surprise them with something personal, thoughtful, or unique, such as a gift basket, a book, a subscription, or a donation to their favorite charity.

By using these creative ways to compensate speakers, you can show your appreciation, build trust, and foster long-term relationships. You can also increase your chances of attracting and retaining high-quality speakers who can make your conference a success.

Presentar la marca del orador, y hacer una buena publicidad de su contenido, mencionar sus redes sociales, y destacar los maravillosos beneficios de seguir al orador.
