unDavos Session / Panel Owner and Speaker Wrangler (Webinar Also)

Role: unDavos Session Owner & Speaker Wrangler

TLDR: You own an unDavos session from idea to execution. You'll define the topic, create engaging questions, find and manage diverse speakers (getting them onboarded via forms/Telegram), coordinate communication using designated Telegram groups and event platforms (Luma), potentially liaise with sponsors, and ensure everything runs smoothly on the day. It's about crafting a great panel and handling all the logistics and people involved.

Purpose:

As a Session Owner, you are responsible for crafting a compelling, well-structured panel and ensuring a seamless experience for speakers and participants alike. You manage everything from initial concept and speaker invitations to day-of execution and follow-up activities.

Key Responsibilities

Session / Panel Design & Content Creation

Title & Blurb: Develop a working title, finalize it into a clear, engaging headline, and write a brief (100-word) description that captures the session’s essence.
Guiding Questions: Create 4-5 key questions, including at least one controversial or thought-provoking question, to spark dynamic dialogue.

Speaker Selection & Management

Speaker Recruitment: Identify and invite suitable speakers—investors, experts, and innovators—ensuring a diverse mix of perspectives. Aim for well-known speakers who are forward-thinkers and will draw interest from the audience.
Speaker Onboarding: Send speakers the registration form, ensure they join the Speakers Telegram group, and encourage them to promptly submit their bio. If speakers do not complete the form, they will not be featured in marketing efforts.
Contingency Planning: Have backup speaker options in case of cancellations.

3**. Sponsor Engagement & Follow-Up**

Identifying Potential Sponsors: Research and reach out to organizations, investors, or thought-leaders who are aligned with the session’s theme and may be interested in sponsoring the event.
