Better Event. Less Stress.

For Meeting Planners

Has this happened to you?

What to do?

Step 1:  Call or email us (or reach out on social media) we’ll listen and take notes while you tell us about your meeting, your company, and the type of speaker you need.

Step 2: Take a deep breath and get back to the other things on your list.  We’ll use our extensive worldwide directory to find options for you.

Step 3: Receive our proposal with a list of candidates that match your requirements and budget–often with-in the same day.

Step 4: Choose your speaker

Step 5: Relax in the knowledge that the details such as negotiation, contract preparation, and logistical details are handled by us.  We know the speaking industry and we do this all day.

 

What about the event day? 

You won’t be alone.  We’ll be monitoring the details of your speaker’s arrival and presentation, right up to the final standing ovation. We may even be there in person to help you with logistics.

 

What happens if my speaker cancels?

That’s where we really come in handy.  Although it rarely happens, if the speaker cancels we will offer you options for replacement–quickly!  Think of us as insurance for your event.

 

What else?

Our goal is to make you shine and to be your number one resource for professional speakers. We’re unrelenting in that goal. Give us a shout and let us take the stress away and give you back some precious time.
