In this episode, we’re breaking down the fundamentals of speaker management, from when it should begin in the planning process to the key deliverables every speaker should have. We share best practices for communication, timelines, and what speakers actually need to be successful both before and onsite. Plus, how to handle missed deadlines and keep things moving when speakers aren’t as responsive as you’d hoped.
