Here's a little tit-bit on how we go about calling speakers for the Symposium. Once the theme is zeroed-in on, we decide the tracks for the conference. The tracks this year are pretty straightforward, as you'd already know.
The Speakers' Team of Insight sends out invites to hundreds of potential candidates across the country. Every year, we deliberately make an effort to ensure that the conference grows in stature. Just to drive my point home, here's an excerpt from one of the emails sent out to a potential speaker who declined our invite due to prior commitments:
The INSIGHT protocol mandates the speakers to be from the league of Chairmen, CEOs, MDs, CMOs, COOs etc. It would be kind of you, if you could request Mr. X to suggest someone of the same stature from Company Y to grace the podium of INSIGHT'09 .
Which is exactly why the tagline of Insight '09 says: "It doesn't get bigger than this"
