Find interesting and informative health public speakers to speak to your organization

By Margaret Haerens
If you are a meeting planner looking for knowledgeable and articulate health public speakers to discuss important health issues with your business, club or organization, there are several things to keep in mind. 

Health care is one of the most pressing and important issues today. Many political and patient advocacy groups and corporations across the country are struggling to find solutions to the country’s growing healthcare problem. A knowledgeable and informative health care speaker can disseminate valuable information on health issues that are key to your organization's needs.  

To find a qualified and informative public health speaker: 
  1. Know the topics you want the health issues speaker to discuss
  2. Have a speaker’s fee in mind
  3. Find a speaker that has an interesting take or compelling presentation on your topic

 

Research topics and health care speaker services

You will need to do some diligent research on topics and speakers before you book a health speaker for your event. Get recommendations from colleagues or business associates, consult with business associations and peruse a speaker's website or the promotional packages on the websites of speakers bureaus.
Try: If you already have a speaker in mind, consult their website to find bio and professional information. HealthCareSpeakers.net offers extensive promotional material on top healthcare speakers specializing in the most popular healthcare issues of the day. You can search by topic or by individual healthcare speaker, and they also provide recommendations on speakers appropriate for your event and topic. If you are interested in a well-known speaker, BigSpeak books some of the most popular health speakers and celebrities. They provide comprehensive information on their speakers.

Find reliable lists of public speakers in health for hire from associations

Before contacting a healthcare speakers bureau, scan a broad spectrum of agencies to find information on particular speakers.
Try: The International Association of Speakers Bureaus (IASB) offers their Official Speaker Directory for a fee. Their directory may allow you to find the right health care speaker. IASB also has a free searchable member database that can be focused by topic. The National Speakers Association also offers a free speaker search online database.

Contact a healthcare speakers bureau that features health public speakers

A speakers bureau acts as a liaison between organizations and popular health speakers. They can find just the right health care speaker, facilitate bookings and take care of the logistics involved.
Try: Innovative Healthcare Speakers Bureau is one of the top resources to find public health speakers on every healthcare issue around.  Speakers on Healthcare is a service that allows you to search for speakers by topic, event type or by speaker.
