Event organisers will often book an after dinner speaker on a particular theme or topic that’s relevant – or of particular interest – to the audience, such as hiring a former professional footballer or rugby player for a sports club dinner. Or booking a renowned entrepreneur to speak at a business dinner.
However, if not everyone in your audience shares that same level of interest or passion, then you’ll possibly lose their attention from the moment they receive the invite. And, at corporate dinners in particular, where the audience can be varied, broad age range, mix of junior office staff to C-suite executives, male-to-female ratio, and from different geographical locations, it can be daunting to find a speaker that will appeal to everyone.
In our General After Dinner Speakers section you'll find a range of names with humorous, fascinating and intriguing stories to tell, featured here because of their broad and wide-ranging appeal. They’re also speakers that talk about topics which, for the most part, are relatable to all of us.
