HOW THE TOP TEN SELECTION WORKS This list is subjective. To choose the top experts on a particular topic, we considered several factors, including the number of positive reviews on their profile, events booked in the last year, buzz around the speaker, international footprint, industry designations, robust eSpeakers profile, and the personal enjoyment we received from listening to their presentation. The speakers were selected from the group of speakers we reviewed this year; they do not represent the best of any other time period. The selections were vetted by eSpeakers staff and advisory board.
