Tips on Making Great Introductions

  1. Ask for a biography rather than a resume.
  2. Beware of canned introductions.
  3. Interview the speaker if possible.
  4. Make sure your introduction answers the questions, “Why this speaker?”
  5. Be upbeat!
  6. Share something personal about the speaker.
  7. Don’t steal the speaker’s thunder or material.
  8. Don’t say, “Our speaker needs no introduction.”
  9. If you are going to use humor, clear it with the speaker first.
We have worked with the Healthcare Speakers Network for four years, and have enjoyed our professional relationship enough that we keep returning to book additional speakers. The team is consistently service driven, customer focused and the staff is so easy to get along with and accommodating that our events are consistently rated well above average. The trust element between our staff and the Healthcare Speakers Network staff is high.
