Global Economy Speakers

Book 3 to 6 months ahead for in-demand macro economists and geopolitical strategists — particularly for annual strategy conferences, investor days, and risk committee briefings. High-profile economists frequently structure their speaking calendars around the IMF World Economic Outlook cycle, Davos, and major central bank decision windows, so availability tightens early. For engagements with fewer than 6 weeks' notice, Speaker Agency's last-minute network can often source a credible alternative within 24 to 48 hours.

A keynote runs 45 to 60 minutes and is designed for strategic framing at scale — a single, authoritative macro perspective delivered to a large audience. A workshop runs 2 to 4 hours and is built for scenario modelling, structured Q&A, and working-group application. The two formats are not interchangeable: a speaker's keynote track record does not automatically translate to workshop facilitation. Confirm format-specific experience when you submit the brief.

Yes — sector-specific framing is standard. Speaker Agency conducts a pre-event briefing 2 to 3 weeks before the engagement, covering audience seniority, sector context, and the macro questions the event is designed to address. Speakers with deep experience in financial services, energy, or manufacturing can take tailoring considerably further than a generalist commentator — mapping monetary policy divergence or trade realignment directly to the audience's capital allocation or supply chain decisions.

Yes. Virtual and hybrid delivery is available across the roster. For senior-audience events — board briefings, investor days, risk committee sessions — Speaker Agency includes a full technical setup check and a pre-event rehearsal in the standard scope. This is not optional: a credibility-led macro briefing cannot afford a format failure in the first 90 seconds. Most virtual engagements run to the same 45 to 60-minute structure as in-person keynotes.

Standard scope covers speaker consultation, content alignment, event-day delivery, and a post-event debrief. Optional additions include pre-event written briefing notes distributed to the audience ahead of the session, an extended Q&A block, media availability for the host organisation, and a follow-up engagement timed to the next relevant macro inflection point — a central bank rate decision, the IMF World Economic Outlook release, or a UK fiscal event. Speaker Agency coordinates all of these within a single engagement structure.

Speaker Agency prioritises practitioners whose primary professional work — portfolio management, advisory mandates, scenario modelling for institutional clients — keeps their analysis current by default. They are not reliant on a fixed speaking deck. For time-sensitive bookings, such as a keynote scheduled within weeks of a major tariff announcement or central bank decision, the pre-event briefing is used to confirm the speaker's current position on that specific development and to adjust the content frame before the event date.
