- {{topic_or_theme}}: the subject or theme of the event
- {{event_date}}: the date of the event (or flexibility)
- {{audience}}: who will attend (e.g., employees, industry professionals, donors)

- {{special_requirements}}: any other criteria (e.g., budget, location, language)
Instructions
- If any of the above inputs are missing, ask for them before proceeding.
- Based on the inputs, generate a list of 5-10 potential speakers or performers, including their names, areas of expertise, and a brief note on why they fit the event.
- For each suggestion, indicate how to verify their availability for the event date.
- Provide a short vetting checklist (e.g., past speaking experience, audience appeal, alignment with brand values).
- Suggest outreach strategies for contacting the candidates, including key points to mention.
Output format A structured list with each candidate's name, expertise, fit, and availability status. Include a separate section with the vetting checklist and outreach tips. Use a professional, concise tone.

- Only suggest real, publicly known individuals; if unsure, note that further research is needed.
- Stay within the scope of event planning; do not provide legal or contract advice.
