Speaker Management 201: What to Do When Speakers Go Rogue

<p>In this episode, Logan and Mary are back with a follow-up to one of their most popular episodes: Speaker Management 101. This time they go deeper, tackling the situations that don&#39;t show up in the basics. From setting tech check and rehearsal expectations to managing speaker nerves, egos, and last-minute changes, they cover what actually happens when speakers go off script, over time, or off the rails entirely. They also get into how to handle high-profile and VIP speakers differently and the systems and tools that make the whole process smoother. If you produce events with speakers, this one belongs in your rotation.</p><p>SHOW NOTES:</p><p>Link to Speaker Management 101 - Episode 251</p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1ziiFRedmdL3tI6d1HdrPc?si=535abf91aa364a15</p><p>YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ok1N8jYqULU</p><p>Purchase our template, including a speaker management tab: https://bettereventspod.com/templates/p/better-events-conferencemeeting-event-planning-workbook-template-excel</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase tickets for the 2026 Better Events Conference: https://bettereventspod.com/conference</p><p>Learn more about the pod, Better Events Conference and more: https://bettereventspod.com/the-latest</p><p>Want our updated free run of show template?
