Motivational speakers used to open an event set the tone for the rest of the event, solidifying the theme. The closing speaker builds upon that tone to re-enforce the theme.

In addition, collaborating with the client allows one to provide key information to your speakers, which will allow them in turn to study and get to know your audience strengths and weaknesses. Great communication leads to easy to find, but crucial to touch upon focus points that makes your event that much more impactful. Your audience will be able to relate to the speakers because your speakers will have built their presentation around the knowledge of your audience.
