Keynote speakers should have a sterling resume and a depth of experience. After all, they are key because of their relevance and accomplishments. They have knowledge to share, in a way that interests other people. That being said, it’s a good idea to take what’s laid out on the resume with a grain of salt.

There have been plenty of famous and very knowledgeable people who simply can’t put a concept into easily understood words or, gulp, cannot get in front of people without getting a shaky voice. Likewise, people who are great entertainers in front of a camera with a good television script in their hand may not do a very good job of giving the audience insight on a particular subject.
