VIRTUAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER: MEETINGS, EVENTS, FIRESIDE CHATS

As virtual keynote speakers and live key note speakers for meetings, events, conferences, and tradeshows, we’re frequently asked to appear in virtual fireside chats. These often take the form of informal interviews in which we’re asked to explore a range of topics from the future of work to creativity, innovation, business, sales, marketing and more. To give a better sense of what it’s like to be virtual keynote speakers and event hosts, here’s a sampling of the types of questions that we’re often asked to speak to in front of audiences of 1000 or more executives. As you might imagine, these types of programs present a fun opportunity to put on our futurist thinking caps and connect with working professionals from every industry and background.

3. What would you say has been your most exciting or rewarding business venture to date?
