As we progress into 2019, we know it's important that pitching and planning events stay top of mind. That’s why we created a starter collection of curated voices to help you find the right voice and experience for your audience: the WSB 100.

Featuring 10 topics and 100 names, the people you'll see share expertise on key subjects that span the spectrum – from diversity and inclusion, and motivation, to politics and world affairs.

As you navigate your event planning process throughout the year, keep this guide close. It will serve as a handy resource in those critical moments when you need a spark of inspiration or somewhere to turn.
