Each year, Speakers Platform recognizes five speakers within ten popular topic areas. Excellence in speaking is based on: expertise, professionalism, client testimonials, presentation skills and original contribution to the field. The substantive requirement is that the candidates' standard keynote presentation fee be under $25,000USD. Once the nominees are chosen, online voters determine the final Top5 honorees.
Over 13,000 votes were received at Speaking.com for the initial 157 nominees- from business leaders, educators, association members and others from around the world. Many voters praised the nominees for having a profoundly positive impact on their lives; a living testament to the far reach and valuable work of all the nominees. Please join us in congratulating your 2012 honorees!
