How we shortlist

Not a
popularity
contest.

Every nexxworks category page is curated by
the people who book these speakers every week, not an
algorithm.
01

Stage-tested

Every name has delivered the talk live, to a
senior audience, more than once. No first-timers.
02

Relevance over reach

We rank how directly the talk moves a leadership
team's agenda, not for follower counts.
03

Reviewed every quarter

Conversations move fast, so this list is revisited
every quarter. Speakers can get on or off the list.
