Question:

Could you guide me through the process of securing a speaker through Genie Cast?

Answer:

Genie Cast is not your typical speaker’s bureau. They offer a comprehensive solution for virtual events, which includes not just talent negotiation but also technical and event planning support.

Step 1: Event Design and Goal Setting

Begin by defining the objectives of your event. Genie Cast can help design your virtual event to meet these outcomes, whether it’s for team building, training, or a conference.

Step 2: Choosing the Right Platform

Based on your event’s needs, Genie Cast will select the most suitable virtual event platform, ensuring a professional production quality akin to a TV show, complete with on-screen graphics and interactive features like Q&A chat and live polling.

Step 3: Selecting Your Speaker

You can choose from a marketplace of thought leaders, experts, and celebrities, referred to as “Genies”. If you don’t have a speaker in mind, the Genie Cast team can assist in selecting one that aligns with your event’s theme and goals.

Step 4: Booking and Negotiation

Once you’ve selected a speaker, Genie Cast’s talent team will handle all the details of the booking and negotiation process, whether the event is virtual or in-person.

Step 5: Pre-Event Technical Audit

A critical step to ensure a smooth event is the technical audit. Genie Cast’s production team will test each presenter’s internet speed, camera, microphone, and coach them on best practices for optimal presentation quality.

Step 6: Access Page Creation

An access page, tailored to your brand, will be developed. This landing page serves as the gateway for attendees to join your virtual event and can include various content such as the agenda, speaker bios, and more.

Step 7: Event Production

Whether you need to pre-record a single presenter or the entire event, Genie Cast has the capability. They also offer an in-house studio and can set up remote productions if required.

Step 8: Post-Event Analytics

After the event, you’ll receive analytics and a recording of the event, providing valuable insights into its success and areas for improvement.

Conclusion

Securing a speaker through Genie Cast is a streamlined process that ensures a high-quality, engaging, and professionally produced event. Their full-service approach takes the hassle out of event planning and execution, allowing you to focus on delivering an impactful experience to your audience.
