Technology firms rely on Promenade’s speakers to keynote User Group Conferences and Advisory Boards. Where there’s a heavy dose of educational, technical and product knowledge sharing, audiences crave humor, big-picture topics, energy and an outsider’s perspective. Successful content can include workplace humor, futurists, science-fiction or literary authors, artists, interactive musical or dance performers incorporating technology, celebrity chefs, customer experience, learning, innovation, motivational or lifestyle speakers. Attention to personal and professional concerns will reinvigorate attendees mid-conference, set the tone for the event or end it on a positive note.
Whether in-person, hybrid or virtual speakers are needed, we can help you find the ideal User Group or Customer Advisory Board Speaker. Need to pivot quickly from in-person to virtual? We have digital-savvy presenters with modern home studios with a wide range of expertise. If you need additional advisory planning virtual – online events, experienced guidance is available here:
