The earliest part of the movement seen the greatest effect. Well-known ministers such as F.B. Meyer, Evan H. Hopkins, H. W. Webb-Peploe, H. C. G. Moule and many others were consistent speakers at the annual conventions.There were also guest speakers which had a profound influence on the movement itself, such as Andrew Murray and J. Hudson Taylor. The most well-known missionary from the movement was Amy Wilson Carmichael. Lilias Trotter notably was present at this convention and spoke at the Ladies' Meeting.Beginning in 1893 the messages of the annual conventions were printed annually and entitled: "The Keswick Week."
