• {{event_details}}: Date, time, format, and audience size.
• {{contact_info}}: Any known potential speakers or preferred sources.

Instructions

1. Ask for missing context before starting.
2. Generate a list of potential guest speakers matching the criteria, including their expertise, notable achievements, and contact details if publicly available.
3. Draft a personalized invitation email for each speaker, highlighting the event's purpose, benefits of speaking, and any tailored touches based on their background.
4. Create a coordination timeline that includes outreach, follow-ups, confirmations, and pre-event briefings, considering time zones and availability.
