Hi, The first one is a future plan which can be replaced with present continuous as to talk about plans which already made, but the second one is simply a future form which is made at the moment of speaking. Cheers, Iman

Anonymous"I will be speaking tomorrow."
"I will speak tomorrow."
Future continuous; Future. The first invites the listener to imagine the act of speaking as it will be taking place over a period of time tomorrow. The second is just a plain fact about a schedule.
