In their learning lab “Diamonds in the Rough: Turning Speakers into Exceptional Content Leaders," Jan Ferri-Reed and Gail Swanson described a simple method to set speakers up for making an excellent presentation at your conference or event: the 7-question metiod.

The last thing you want your presenters to think about, they said, is what you want to say to your audience. Instead, they should be asking what your audience needs to hear. In fact, they say, you and the presenter should jointly come up with seven questions you want their presentation to answer. From there, they can build out their presentation.
