Amplify Speakers
Keynote Speakers for Economic Outlook Events
We don't carry a dedicated economist on the roster, and we'd rather tell you that upfront than book you someone who isn't the real thing. If you need a credentialed economist forecasting rates, inflation, or specific market movement, we're not the right source for that particular ask.
What we do have is strength in the broader strategic conversation that often sits alongside an economic outlook session — where the business or industry is actually headed, and how leadership should be thinking about the next few years given the uncertainty.
What's Actually Needed?
Strategic Foresight & Trend Analysis
If the goal is understanding what's coming in technology, industry structure, or the broader business environment, rather than specific economic forecasting.
Leadership Through Uncertainty
Sessions focused on how leaders should make decisions and communicate when the near-term outlook is genuinely unclear.
Industry-Specific Strategic Outlook
A conversation about where a specific industry is headed, grounded in operational experience rather than macroeconomic forecasting.
What We'd Recommend Instead
If your event genuinely needs a credentialed economist with specific market forecasting credentials, we'll say so directly rather than substitute someone whose actual expertise lies elsewhere. If the real need is a broader strategic or leadership conversation about navigating uncertainty, we likely do have the right person, and it's worth a conversation to figure out which one applies to your event.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you have a dedicated economist on your roster?Not currently. If your event specifically needs credentialed economic forecasting, we'll tell you that directly rather than recommend a mismatch.
What can you offer for an economic outlook style event?Strong futurist and leadership speakers who address strategic uncertainty and where industries are headed, even if not formal economic forecasting.
What do keynote speakers cost in this category?Standard market rates apply, typically $7,500 to $15,000 for emerging voices, $15,000 to $35,000 for established professionals and $35,000 or more for high-profile names.
How far in advance should we book?Ninety days or more.
