The Spotlight Fades on Celebrity Speakers
As budgets tighten and return on investment comes under scrutiny, planners are rethinking the value of high-priced celebrity speakers. Instead, they're prioritizing industry experts who offer actionable insights, often for a fraction of the cost. Planners are increasingly passing on celebrity speakers in favor of subject matter experts who deliver deeper value at lower cost. It's a shift speaker bureaus are tracking closely. Mike Taubleb, founder of Promenade Speakers Bureau, said his company has experienced not only a shift away from high-profile speakers with steep fees, but fewer inquiries overall, and longer decision-making lead times. 'Some clients are simply unable to commit to premium fees,' said Taubleb. Demand for Celebrity Speakers Declines Once a major draw, big-name motivational speakers are no longer a priority, said Ken Holsinger, global events company Freeman's senior VP of strategy. 'Attendees want substance, not celebrity,' he said. Only 1% of event attendees want to hear from celebrity speakers, compared with 37% who want to hear from industry experts, according to a Freeman survey of attendees. 'Celebrity speakers will not boost registrations. Unless they're experts in a relevant vertical, celebrities don't drive behavior,' said Holsinger. Freeman's data reflects what event consultant Lea Worth has seen firsthand. Last year, she surveyed a conference of 1,500 people asking what type of speakers they wanted at their next event. 'Celebrity speakers ranked dead last,' she said. I'm contracting with a conference company now that has a policy of no celebrity speakers because they're too expensive with not enough ROI.' Insider Expertise Preferred As expectations shift, companies are increasingly turning to internal talent and senior leaders who can speak authentically to business realities and challenges. 'While celebrity speakers can still draw initial intrigue, audiences today, especially in B2B and healthcare spaces, are hungry for real, actionable insights from people who live the business every day,' said Monique Rochard-Marine, head of global commercial services at Cordis who manages the company's global meetings. 'Panels and fireside chats that feel like candid conversations resonate more than polished keynote monologues.' Some planners see value in a blended approach. 'The value of a celebrity speaker isn't gone, it just needs to be purposefully aligned to the message and audience. If they can connect to the industry or deliver a deeply human story that supports the business narrative, it still lands. But today, relatability and relevance often outperform star power,' said Rochard-Marine. Ira Ozer, founder of Innovation Meetings, recommends using both types of talent for maximum impact. 'One big-name speaker supplemented by those who know the inner workings of your industry is preferred,' said Ozer. Even confirmed engagements are being canceled. Jim Carroll, a futurist and keynote speaker for more than 30 years, said a recent engagement in San Diego was canceled due to funding cuts. 'They used someone internally instead,' said Carroll. 'That's become more common, but often it's a mistake, because they end up listening to the same old id To navigate the shifting landscape, Taubleb encourages planners to work closely with their bureaus. 'There's still tremendous value in bringing in a professional speaker,' he said. 'But we're now advocating for cost-effective talent.' To keep costs low he recommends looking for speakers within driving or train distance and negotiate lower fees. Another tip he offers is to book 'rising stars' without national name recognition.

Kootenay Resources Announces the Sleeper-Magnificent-Knapp ("SMK") Gold-Silver Exploration Project in Central British Columbia
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES. VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / June 13, 2025 / Kootenay Resources Inc. (TSXV:KTRI) (the 'Company' or 'Kootenay') is pleased to introduce its 100%-owned Sleeper-Magnificent-Knapp (SMK) Project, a large-scale, early-stage exploration property with significant discovery potential for gold, silver, and associated critical metals in central British Columbia. The project, located roughly 25 kilometers southwest of Fraser Lake, BC covers 3,6234 hectares of prospective ground and forms part of the Company's objective for the discovery of Tier One mineral deposits. The property is situated within the same mineral belt as other key projects in Kootenay's portfolio of high quality early-stage exploration properties. Strategically positioned with road access, nearby power infrastructure, and proximity to resource-friendly communities, the SMK Property represents a compelling epithermal and porphyry exploration opportunity in one of Canada's most prospective yet underexplored mineral regions. Kootenay continues to expand and define vein outcrops in two main mineralized trends at surface at SMK and is pursuing a dual target model. The vein systems, in conjunction with alteration zones mapped at surface are interpreted as upper-level extents of an intermediate-sulfidation epithermal gold-silver system with porphyry copper-gold potential at depth (click here to see an aerial map). The project boasts high grade surface results today including assays ranging from below detection up to 25.99 g/t gold (Sample MK10-389, BC Assessment Report #32330) and 455 g/t silver (Sample SK21-134, BC Assessment Report #40117). Sampling to date defines two strong multi-kilometer trends for follow up. Two major vein trends are identified by previous work, including: The project is road accessible and only 25 kilometers from the Company's exploration office at Fraser Lake. 'We're excited to formally introduce the SMK Project,' said Dale Brittliffe, VP Exploration. 'With significant surface results, large-scale untested structures, and proximity to infrastructure, SMK is preparing permit applications for trenching and first-pass drilling to unlock its discovery potential.' Kootenay Resources considers trenching and first-pass drilling essential to evaluate high-priority targets and assess potential porphyry feeder zones beneath the established epithermal system. Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce that it intends to complete on a best efforts basis, a non-brokered private placement (the 'Private Placement') for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $200,000. The Private Placement will consist of a combination of non-flow-through and flow-through common shares. Under the Private Placement, the Company will offer, non-flow-through common shares of units of the Company (each, a 'Unit') at a price of $0.06 per Unit and flow-through common shares of units of the Company (each, a 'FT Unit') at a price of $0.075 per FT Unit , raising aggregate combined gross proceeds of up to $200,000. Proceeds received from the Private Placement will be used for the development of the Company's Moyie Anticline Project, other resource properties (eligible for 'Canadian exploration expenses, which are flow-through mining expenditures) and general working capital requirements. Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a 'Common Share') and one-Common Share purchase warrant of the Company ('Warrant'). Each Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.12 for a period of 5 years from the closing of the Private Placement. Each FT Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a 'FT Common Share') share (as defined under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and of one Non flow-through Common Share purchase warrant of the Company, (a 'NFT Warrant'). Each NFT Warrant shall entitle the holder thereof to purchase one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of 5 years from the closing of the Private Placement. Proceeds received from this Private Placement will be used for the development of the Company's exploration projects (eligible for 'Canadian exploration expenses, which are flow-through mining expenditures) and general working capital requirements. The securities to be issued under the Private Placement will be offered by way of private placement in each of the provinces of Canada, other than Quebec, and such other jurisdictions as may be determined by the Company, in each case, pursuant to applicable exemptions from the prospectus requirements under applicable securities laws. The Private Placement is anticipated to close on or before July 25, 2025, or as decided by the Company ('Closing') and is subject to certain conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals. The common shares to be issued under the Private Placement will have a hold period of four months and one day from Closing. In connection with the Private Placement, arms-length finders may receive a cash fee in respect to their subscribers equal to 6.0% of the gross proceeds. Furthermore, the Company announces subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval the closing of its previously announced private placement (see news release dated October 17, 2024) for aggregate gross proceeds of $57,626.
