Keynote Topics:

Thom Singer works to engage your audience while helping create a culture for better engagement.

He is a true “speakers business speaker” as he is committed to the meetings industry and the business of speaking. At corporate or association conferences he encourage attendees to maximize their event experience.

Thom is known as “The Conference Catalyst” for his unique ways in getting people to network and learn at the meeting.

He does more than speak and leave, but instead he participates as a member of the conference community at your event – before, during, and after the presentation you will find Thom engaged with the audience.

Thom Singer is your next keynote speaker. His content will make your people think and take action (and he is fun and funny as a keynote speaker).

Seeking the keynote speaker for your corporate or association conference? Planning a company meeting and need a presenter with strong content from a keynote speaker with an engaging style?

In a world consumed by digital shortcuts, creating meaningful influence in your business community matters more than ever before. Likes, links, shares and follows are not the answers to unlocking business potential. Human engagement is the key to success. Thom Singer is the best business keynote speaker for your event.

Not all speakers are the right choice for the keynote speaker. A data heavy technical presentation delivered by an industry expert is clearly important for most events, yet not necessarily for the keynote speaker. If a presenter is not an experienced public speaker, it can suck the energy out of the room in a New York Minute.

When seeking a keynote speaker some groups are focused on credentials, and forget that humans in their audience want more than an excel spreadsheet with pie charts. If the speaker has heavily detailed slides, which they mostly read, they are not a keynote speaker.

The keynote speech, or plenary presentation, is a shared experience for all participants. The motivational speaker in this role sets the tone for the rest of the conference. Usually lasting 45 minutes to an hour, the keynote speaker will impact all aspects of the meeting.

This is not to say research and data are not important. All speeches need to have meaningful content. But a talk that is only about the data is not a keynote speech. A successful keynote usually is focused on one main topic. A keynote speaker does not dump data to show how smart they are or convey everything they have experienced and researched.. The best keynote speaker has a “key” point that they want to bring to the audience (a “key-note”). They anchor the message through their experience as a storytelling speaker.

Thom Singer brings decades of sales, marketing, and leadership experience to his keynote presentations. He is committed to making the keynote address interactive, content-rich, and fun. Thom combines action-oriented content with an entertaining storytelling style. His public speaking skills have been fine tuned in over 900 presentations to business and association audiences.

Hire Thom Singer as your next conference keynote speaker. And if you are looking for something extra and unique, Thom can stay for your whole event and serve as your master of ceremonies / EmCee.

Talent FAQ's

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

  • Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
  • There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech.
  • Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization.
  • When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down.
  • Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker.
  • Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership.
  • Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms.
