The two of us working on keynotes have brought the longlist of 19 down to six, and we need the committee's view before staff approach anyone. There are three slots: opening, second morning and close.
I describe them by profile here; names and fees are in the folder. A labour economist who studies pay transparency laws, a chief people officer who led a large restructuring, a behavioural scientist working on incentives, a former union negotiator, the chief executive of a mid-sized manufacturer, and a journalist who covers work.
Total budget is 85,000 dollars. Please rank your top three before the meeting on the 16th.

My three: the labour economist to open, the union negotiator on the second morning and the behavioural scientist to close. I would resist the chief executive unless they will talk concretely about pay decisions. Two years ago we had a chief executive keynote that was a company history with one rewards slide at the end, and the ratings showed it.

All six are based in North America or the UK, and a third of last year's delegates came from elsewhere. Could we reopen the longlist for one slot? Two candidates from Asia Pacific were cut on fee grounds alone. I am willing to make the approach myself to find out whether either fee is negotiable.
