Corporate Speaker Resources

The Kellogg School provides two full-time staff members in the Corporate Relations Department, the Assistant Directors of Corporate Relations, to advise and support student clubs and conferences with their speaker needs. These individuals serve as liaisons between Kellogg administration (including the Dean’s Office), Kellogg students and corporations, and are knowledgeable on Kellogg’s complex relationships and history with corporate partners.

Potential Speakers (.xls 123k)
This is a list of individuals who have indicated interest in speaking opportunities at Kellogg or who have been funneled through different channels (Dean's Office, Development, Faculty) as potential strong speakers. If you are interested in contacting someone on this list and you are a full time student, please contact Jennifer Johnson or Elizabeth Orr.

Speaker Database (.xls 214k)
The largest and most comprehensive list of past speakers at Kellogg from the year 2000 and on. It is important to note that this list was developed in 2003 and does not encompass every single speaker that has come to Kellogg in the past 3 years - it lists all that have been recorded by the Kellogg administration. It is important to check a potential speaker’s presence on campus in previous years, as it’s undesirable to request the same individuals to return year after year.

Important steps to follow when inviting a speaker to Kellogg.

Conference Speaker Handbook (.doc 2MB/22pg)
Guidelines for conference speaker committees to follow. The handbook includes sample speaker correspondence letters and action plans to obtain a corporate speaker for a large event at Kellogg.
