Elite Headline Speakers
Overview
Elite Headline Speakers helps you find the right speaker for the outcome you want to create—not just another impressive name with a microphone.
We start by understanding your audience, event goals, budget, and what you want people to think, feel, or do differently afterward. Then we curate a shortlist of professional speakers who truly fit your event.
Because a great keynote shouldn’t just earn applause. It should help your event accomplish something.

What to expect
Your audience can expect more than a polished keynote and a few good stories.
At Elite Headline Speakers, we curate speakers based on what you want your event to accomplish. That means your audience gets a speaker who is not only engaging on stage, but relevant to the people in the room and aligned with the reason you brought them together in the first place.
Depending on your event, audiences can expect to be challenged, inspired, entertained, and given practical ideas they can take back to work and use. Our speakers know how to create connection quickly, read the room, make complex ideas accessible, and turn a presentation into an experience.
Some will make your audience laugh. Some will make them think differently. Some will challenge assumptions or give people language for something they have been struggling to articulate. The best ones do a little of everything.
Most importantly, we are not interested in matching your event with a speaker simply because they have an impressive résumé or a great demo reel. We look for the right combination of expertise, credibility, delivery style, audience fit, and desired outcome.
The result should feel less like, “That was a great speaker,” and more like:
“That was exactly what our people needed.”
Because applause is wonderful.
But the real measure of a great keynote is what happens after everyone leaves the room.
About
Marc Haine is the CEO and Lead Curation Specialist of Elite Headline Speakers, where he helps organizations find the right speaker by starting with the event—not the speaker catalogue.
With more than 35 years of experience in hospitality, leadership, customer experience, and business operations, Marc understands that a successful event is about more than putting an impressive person on stage. It is about understanding the audience, the purpose of the gathering, and what should be different because people attended.
As a professional keynote speaker, author, consultant, and longtime event-industry professional, Marc brings a unique perspective to speaker selection: he understands both sides of the stage.
His curation process explores the organization’s goals, audience needs, budget, culture, and desired outcomes before identifying speakers who can genuinely serve the moment.
Marc founded Elite Headline Speakers to offer meeting planners an alternative to the traditional “browse hundreds of headshots and hope for the best” model.
His philosophy is simple:
Don’t start with “Who should we book?” Start with “What do we need this event to accomplish?”
From there, Marc works to find the voice, expertise, energy, and experience that can help make it happen.
