- [Sales Kickoff Speakers in Canada: Who to Book for January 2027](https://prospeakers.com/news/sales-kickoff-speakers-in-canada-who-to-book-for-january-2027/): Sales kickoffs are the hardest keynote booking of the year, and most planners underestimate them. You have a room full of people who have just been handed a number, who are being asked to believe in it, and who will decide within about ninety seconds whether the person on stage has anything useful to say to them. Sales audiences are the least forgiving audience in corporate events. They have all sat through a motivational speaker who told a nice story and gave them nothing.

- [Caroline Ouellette: From Four Olympic Golds to Behind the Bench](https://prospeakers.com/news/caroline-ouellette-from-four-olympic-golds-to-behind-the-bench/): Caroline Ouellette knows how to win — four Olympic gold medals, six world titles, and never a loss in an Olympic final. What makes her one of the most compelling leadership speakers to book in 2026 is what she does with that record now: she coaches. As a full-time assistant coach with the Montréal Victoire, the reigning PWHL champions, and a member of Canada's staff at the 2026 Winter Olympics, she has gone from the most decorated kind of individual performer to the person responsible for developing a whole team — which is exactly the leadership story audiences want to hear this year.
- [The Best Economic Speakers for Finance, Insurance and Trade-Exposed Events in 2026](https://prospeakers.com/news/the-best-economic-speakers-for-finance-insurance-and-trade-exposed-events-in-2026/): If your organisation sits on the front line of trade policy — a manufacturer, an exporter, an energy company, a bank, or an insurer — you are booking speakers into a year where the rules keep changing. On 15 July 2026 the Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% for a sixth straight decision, naming U.S. trade policy as a key risk and noting that CUSMA is now subject to annual reviews. For the sectors that live and die by tariffs, currency, rates, and risk, "wait and see" isn't a plan — and your audience wants a speaker who can tell them what's actually likely to happen.

- [How Far in Advance Should You Book a Speaker for Fall 2026 Events?](https://prospeakers.com/news/how-far-in-advance-should-you-book-a-speaker-for-fall-2026-events/): Autumn is the busiest stretch on the Canadian event calendar. Annual general meetings, association conferences, national sales kickoffs for the new fiscal year, and year-end galas all cluster into September, October, and November — which means the speakers who anchor those events are being booked right now, over the summer. If a fall date is on your calendar, this is the window that decides whether you get your first choice or your third.
- [Best Women Keynote Speaker in Canada for 2026](https://prospeakers.com/news/best-women-keynote-speaker-in-canada-for-2026/): If you're looking for a women keynote speaker in Canada for 2026, this shortlist is built for event planners, HR and training teams, association executives, non-profit leaders, schools, and government organizers booking live or virtual events. The best options right now span business, sport, science, and communication, with voices such as Amber Kanwar, Jennifer Botterill, Dr. Shaunna Burke, Summer McIntosh, Dr. Gillian Mandich, and Pamela Barnum speaking to the issues audiences are asking for now: the economy and markets, leadership and teamwork, resilience, youth inspiration and peak performance, workplace wellbeing and burnout, and trust, communication, and negotiation.
- [Which Motivational Speakers Are Popular in Canada?](https://prospeakers.com/news/which-motivational-speakers-are-popular-in-canada/): If you're an event planner staring down a fall conference or a Q1 kickoff, you've probably typed some version of "which motivational speakers are popular in Canada" into Google more than once. Fair question. The honest answer shifts a little with the season and the roster, but from inside a Toronto bureau that's spent over 30 years booking this market, a clear pattern holds: the speakers organisations keep calling back aren't just famous — they pair a genuinely compelling story with a message people can actually use on Monday morning.
- [Are Keynote Speaker Fees Negotiable? How to Get the Best Value in Canada](https://prospeakers.com/news/are-keynote-speaker-fees-negotiable-how-to-get-the-best-value-in-canada/): Heading into the back half of 2026, Canadian organisers are watching every line item. The Bank of Canada's Q1 2026 Business Outlook Survey found firms still expect cost pressures ahead — most anticipate higher tariff rates coming out of CUSMA talks — and businesses remain cautious on spending. So the question we hear most often right now isn't "who's the best speaker?" It's "how do I get the best speaker my budget can actually support?"
- [How to Book Christine Sinclair: Canada’s Soccer Icon and Keynote Speaker](https://prospeakers.com/news/how-to-book-christine-sinclair-canadas-soccer-icon-and-keynote-speaker/): If you've been looking for a reason to bring a soccer legend to your next event, the calendar just handed you two.

Both also work as keynote speakers and emcees, giving event planners a choice between a broadcast host audiences already know and a former player who speaks credibly about leadership, teamwork, and performing under pressure.

- [Top Canadian Economic & Finance Speakers to Book for Fall 2026](https://prospeakers.com/news/top-canadian-economic-finance-speakers-to-book-for-fall-2026/): Heading into fall 2026, you're booking speakers into an economy that won't sit still. On 10 June 2026 the Bank of Canada held its policy rate at 2.25% for a fifth straight decision, caught between a soft economy and inflation pushed up by higher energy prices — and it signalled it could move either way depending on U.S. trade restrictions. Tariffs and trade uncertainty are still weighing on Canadian exports and business investment, and AI adoption is reshaping how teams work. Your audience walks in with real questions, and they want answers from someone who has lived the policy, the markets, or the boardroom.

- [Top Keynote Speakers in Toronto for 2026 and How to Cut Event Travel Costs](https://prospeakers.com/news/top-keynote-speakers-in-toronto-for-2026-and-how-to-cut-event-travel-costs/): If you are budgeting a corporate event in the Greater Toronto Area for 2026, you have already felt it. The keynote fee on the quote is rarely the number that breaks the budget — the travel line underneath it is. Multi-day hotel commitments, per-diems, ground transfers, and a flat travel fee can quietly add thousands to a single booking before the speaker even steps on stage.
- [Best Keynote Speakers Canada $10,000 and Under 2026](https://prospeakers.com/news/best-keynote-speakers-canada-10000-and-under-2026/): Tighter budgets don't have to mean a smaller stage presence. With trade tensions, a cautious spending climate, and every line item under closer review heading into 2026, more Canadian event planners are asking the same question: who can hold a room — and move an audience to act — without a five-figure-plus fee? Plenty of speakers can. Below are twelve we book regularly who can fit a budget of roughly $10,000 and under, grouped by what your event is trying to do.

David McWilliams unpacks the ripple effects of global quantitative easing (QE) policies—particularly from major economies like Japan, the U.S., and Canada—and how they influence everyday consumers, business leaders, and emerging markets. In this highly relevant talk, McWilliams explores how artificially low interest rates, central bank asset purchases, and expansive monetary policy shape global inflation, asset bubbles, and the transfer of wealth across borders. Attendees will gain a sharper understanding of why actions taken in central banks abroad directly affect investment, currency values, and the cost of living at home.\n\n Hope Is Not a Strategy: Investment in a Zero Interest Rate World
In this engaging session, McWilliams explains how near-zero (or even negative) interest rates have distorted traditional investment models, leaving investors and institutions exposed to hidden risks. He critiques the false comfort of “hope-based” investing and instead offers a pragmatic lens for navigating low-yield environments. Through real-world examples and global trends, attendees will learn how to rethink asset allocation, reassess risk, and identify smarter ways to generate returns in a world where the rules of investing have changed.\n\n Value Investing: Why the Worst of Decisions Are Taken in the Best of Times
Drawing from economic history and behavioural finance, McWilliams reveals why the biggest investment mistakes often happen during periods of apparent prosperity. He explores the psychology of market optimism, the dangers of herd behaviour, and the importance of independent thinking in wealth management. Ideal for financial professionals and institutional investors, this talk delivers insights into how value investing, patience, and discipline outperform fads—especially when the market feels invincible.\n\n Contact Us

\n\nCheck Availability for {{dc:post:title}}\n\nSpeaking Topics\n\nManaging Risk in an Unstable World
To navigate globalization, business decision-makers often weigh economic variables when considering overseas investments or market exposure. But to spot crucial opportunities and manage risk, they must also understand the political factors and trends changing our world in real time, especially as political risk increasingly impacts financial markets and investment strategies.
Whether it’s increasingly contentious relations between China and the United States, the war in Ukraine, a more complex regulatory environment in Europe, a newly global focus from India, surges of populism in Latin America, heightened competition in Africa, or dozens of other politically driven trends, political analyst and entrepreneur Ian Bremmer details how political risk is creating new sets of business winners and losers — particularly as the decline of free-market capitalism and the rise of state intervention reshape key domestic economic sectors.
Audiences will learn: How to spot political risk on the horizon and balance it against economic opportunities, including the effects on financial markets. How to understand the opportunities and dangers of multilayered relations between Washington and Beijing, and the implications for the global superpower rivalry — and the debate over the next global superpower. How to identify the broader trends remaking tomorrow’s global balance of power, including the role of the Middle East and the ongoing war between states over economic and strategic interests. How to process the technological changes now transforming geopolitics, including the influence of the world's powerhouse tech companies on the global order.
\n\n Navigating the Geopolitical Recession
For the past 15 years, the post–Cold War global order has been breaking down, with significant geopolitical implications for international relations, economic stability, and the positioning of global powers. This breakdown has left us responding to a series of crises with both political, market, and business implications — including the impact of the financial crisis on global stability. In this presentation, Ian Bremmer explains why geopolitics has entered a bust cycle, marked by the end of the free-market era and the consequences for global economic systems.
The world’s most powerful country — the United States — has become the most politically dysfunctional high-income country. The world’s most important bilateral relationship — U.S.–China — is deteriorating more quickly than leaders can build new guardrails. Today’s global institutions no longer reflect the world’s true balance of power. The result: a growing vacuum of leadership and cross-border coordination, creating a global power vacuum that limits international cooperation and the ability to set an effective international agenda. This geopolitical recession will continue to limit our ability to respond to crises like the pandemic, the Russia–Ukraine war, climate change, and the emergence of disruptive new technologies.
Ian Bremmer shares ideas and insights to help policymakers and business decision-makers navigate a world in accelerating transition — where the question of free-market winners and losers is more relevant than ever.\n\n The Power of Crisis
In a G-Zero world — one without strong and sustainable international leadership — Ian Bremmer argues we are unprepared for a trio of looming crises: future global health emergencies, transformative climate change, and the next technological revolution. The absence of global leadership has resulted in a power vacuum, increasing volatility and uncertainty.
In this presentation, Bremmer discusses the geopolitics of:
The War in Ukraine: How will Russia’s challenge to the existing international system — and China’s evolving effort to find the most profitable role in ending it — shape the next security order and the future of the global economy? This includes the ongoing war between states over economic and strategic interests and the question of who wins in the current global order.
Climate Change: What risks will it create for political and business decision-makers in years to come, and what lessons can it teach us about the future of international cooperation — especially given the challenges in setting a unified global agenda?\n\n The Geopolitics of Artificial Intelligence
What comes after the G-Zero world order? Today, it’s not governments but the world’s dominant tech companies that set the rules in the digital world. They — not our elected leaders — decide how we share ideas and information. They wield extraordinary, real-time power.
How will these technology titans use that power? They will transform the ways we work, think, learn, play, and live. We will have longer, healthier, and more productive lives that would dazzle those who lived only in a dial-up world. But these same tech companies will also influence military power, reshape global trade and investment patterns, and impact our ability to address climate change.
In this presentation, Ian Bremmer explores how tech titans will determine the next world order — and whether we face a brighter future or a world with diminished freedoms.\n\n Contact Us
