Do Past Events = Future Bookings?
Past events are goldmines for future gigs. Here's why you should actively pursue them:
The Opportunity:
Proven Buyers - They've hired speakers before = they'll hire again
Same Decision-Makers - Event planners manage multiple events year-round
Less Competition - Reach out during their "off-season" when fewer speakers are pitching
How SpeakerDrive Adapts: Our Message Composer automatically adjusts for past events:
Generates future-focused outreach ("planning for 2026...")
Suggests alternative angles (workshops, training, next year's event)
Creates conversation starters, not outdated pitches
Smart Approach Examples:
"Saw you hosted [Event Name] - are you planning the 2026 edition?"
"Your team ran an impressive summit - what's next on your calendar?"
"Noticed your focus on leadership development - let's discuss your upcoming needs"
Bottom Line: Yesterday's conference = tomorrow's booking. Past events show you exactly who invests in speakers. Use them to build relationships when decision-makers aren't overwhelmed with pitches.
