Hi Angela,
I'm going to piggyback off of Lauren's solution and recommend you set this up using Contacts assigned to a Speaker specific contact group. The contact group will allow you to easily target them from inside any event, and adding them as contacts allows you to take full advantage of both advanced search and custom fields, which are not available in the Speakers section of the Admin panel.
When creating the custom field(s) you will use for tagging, be sure to select type = "Multiple Answers" (either vertical or horizontal). Then enter your keywords as the options. This a) ensures that keywords are consistent, b) cuts down on the time needed to assign keywords to contacts, and c) allows you to search by multiple keywords at a time.
Thanks!
Katie
