The list is not: - A list of my favorite speakers. - A list of newcomers. Some of the speakers on this list are already established and pricey. Like Amazon, its stock is already high but it still might be a good buy in 2020. - A list of speakers I am looking to promote. I have no special relationships with these speakers, it is just how I see the market playing out. ![PrinceHarry_MeghanMarkle](https://blog.speakinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PrinceHarry_MeghanMarkle.jpg?width=500&name=PrinceHarry_MeghanMarkle.jpg) Photo Credit: Getty Images The 6 Speakers for 2019 were: [Michelle Poler | Fear Facer & Influencer](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/michelle-poler/) [David Goggins | Retired Navy SEAL & Endurance Athlete](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/david-goggins/) [Heather McGowan | Future of Work Strategist](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/Heather-E-McGowan/) [Mick Ebeling | Technology Trailblazer](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/mick-ebeling/) [Andrew Tarvin | Humor Engineer](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/207668/) [Ben Nemtin | Co-Creator, MTV’s The Buried Life](https://www.speakinc.com/speakers/ben-nemtin/) Here is the breakdown, in no particular order, of their fee increase, if any, from 2019-2020. - 0% increase on one - I suck - 25% increase on two - I’ll take this ROI in any stock - 40% increase - Patting myself on the back. - 50% increase - That’s what I’m talking about! - 100% increase - You heard it right. Go Tim! Go Tim! Doing a really bad happy dance. Happy for those planners that booked said speaker before the increase! Alright. Let’s get the picks for 2020... ![Picks](https://blog.speakinc.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Picks.jpg?width=600&name=Picks.jpg)Feeling the pressure, but knowing I can do better. It is like when the meeting professional calls you and says, “How are we going to top this speaker next year?” and you get the job done. I will make it happen. Here are the 2020 speakers, in no particular order. No clue why it is 6 again; purely coincidence. Their current fees vary widely.
