Speakers For

Speakers for annual meetings and all-hands events

Your all-hands is the one time the whole company is paying attention. We place speakers who connect across every role and level. The kind of talk that makes people put their phones down and feel proud to work where they work.

What to Expect

  • Talks that land with engineers, salespeople, and executives alike
  • Stories with real substance, not generic motivation
  • Personalized references to your company's milestones and culture
  • A speaker who makes your all-hands the highlight of the quarter

Speaker Qualities We Look For

  • Broad appeal across roles and seniority levels
  • Willingness to learn your company culture before the event
  • Strong storytelling with universal themes
  • Flexible format: opening keynotes, closing keynotes, or fireside chats

An all-hands is the one time your whole company is paying attention at once. Everyone from the CEO to the newest hire is in the room (or on the stream) and the speaker you choose sends a message about what your organization values. Get it right and people talk about it for months. Get it wrong and it becomes the meeting everyone checks email through.

The challenge of a company-wide audience

All-hands audiences are tricky because they're everyone at once: engineers, salespeople, ops teams, executives, interns. The speaker needs to connect across all of those roles without talking down to anyone or going over anyone's head. We look for speakers who tell stories with universal appeal. Stories about building something, overcoming setbacks, thinking differently about a problem. That kind of talk lands whether you're in the C-suite or six months into your career.

Opening keynote vs. closing keynote

An opening keynote sets the energy for the whole event. It needs to be forward-looking and exciting, the kind of talk that makes people put their phones down and lean in. A closing keynote is different. It's about crystallizing everything your team heard throughout the day into something they'll carry back to work. Some companies book the same speaker for both. Others want different energy for each. We'll help you figure out what fits your agenda.

What's landing right now

The all-hands talks getting the strongest feedback right now are about AI and what it actually means for how people work, leading through uncertainty when the playbook keeps changing, and building culture in distributed or hybrid teams. The key is matching the topic to where your company is right now. If you're in a growth year, a speaker on ambition and scaling hits differently than if you're navigating a restructure and need someone who can speak honestly about resilience.

Making it feel personal

The difference between a memorable all-hands keynote and a forgettable one is personalization. We brief every speaker on your company's recent wins, challenges, and culture, including the inside jokes and milestones that make your team feel seen. When a speaker references something specific to your organization, the whole room shifts. It goes from 'we hired a speaker' to 'this person understands us.' That's what we aim for every time.

Your all-hands deserves a speaker who makes the whole company feel connected to something bigger. Tell us about your event and your team and we'll recommend someone who fits.
