Sponsorship Keynote Speaking

A big title is great, but if the content is bland, the delivery isn’t compelling, or the speaker treats it like a pitch, you bore your audience instead of inspiring them. I’ve delivered keynotes for major industry conferences across North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania.

Kim Skildum-Reid delivering a keynote

I’ve worked with major industry conferences in North America, Asia, Europe, Africa, and Oceania, delivering keynotes that create a vision what sponsorship can achieve, awaken long-sleeping creativity in industry stalwarts, and pull no punches on counterproductive strategies that hold back our results, and our industry.

6 reasons you want me as your keynote speaker

  • My keynotes are topical, edgy, and backed with a mountain of industry credibility
  • If your audience needs a wake-up-call, I’ll give it to them straight, and gleefully take on subjects few other speakers will touch
  • Every keynote is bespoke for you and your audience. I’ll never deliver the same keynote twice
  • My focus is 100% on delivering an inspiring, thought-provoking presentation, not pitching my services
  • The presentations are beautiful to look at, and specifically designed to pack a punch
  • I provide robust follow-up materials, directing attendees to practical resources (blogs, white papers, podcasts, templates) that support the keynote topics

More than just a keynote

In addition to delivering a keynote, I can drive additional interest in, and revenue for, your conference by…

  • Delivering pre- or post-conference workshops
  • Participating in panel discussions
  • Attending and/or speaking at VIP functions
  • Doing interviews with key media in your region
  • Promoting your conference on this site and via social media
  • Providing content for your website or publication

What clients say

What conference organisers say

She brought great enthusiasm and presented extremely relevant material, and case studies with practical examples of how to modernize our sponsorship program successfully. An engaging speaker who captivated the audience right from the start.

Lesley LehmanCFMWS, Canada

Kim delivered deep, practical knowledge that truly resonated with our needs. The feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive — everyone left feeling more empowered, informed, and inspired than when they arrived.

Natalie StoneDirector, RSVP Shaping Talent

Kim’s energy, passion and enthusiasm in the sponsorship sector is unrivalled. After spending half a day with Kim, our local event organisers were inspired to look at the world of sponsorship in a new light.
