Speaker Bureau Details

As a Speakers’ Bureau, we provide a service to companies and associations who require speakers, trainers, facilitators, seminar leaders at conferences, annual general meetings, retreats and workshops.

We begin by conducting a needs assessment. We will ask numerous questions including: the date of the event, location, type of event, speakers you may have used in the past, topic(s), number of anticipated attendees, audience profile and budget.

We will then check availability and select several speakers that may meet your needs and send you their promotional packets and videotapes.  We will continue to send you promotional material and videotapes until you select a speaker.  We will then place a hold on the speakers calendar for your event.

Once you have finalized your decision we will send you a letter of agreement and a booking packet including a photo, audio-visual requirements, biography, introduction, pre-program questionnaire and an invoice for a deposit (50% of the speaking fee).  We will continue to hold the date pending arrival of the signed agreement and deposit check.  If you wish to audiotape or videotape the speaker we will produce an additional taping contract and include it in the package.

We will arrange conference calls between the speaker and appropriate staff from your organization, we will confirm details about the travel arrangements, hotel accommodations, audio-visual requirements and, when requested, send you masters of handouts for duplication.

We will bill you for the balance of the speaker fee and their expenses within five days after the event.  We will take care of all payments to the speaker.  During that time we will also ask you to provide us with a post event evaluation of the speaker and a letter of recommendation for their files, if appropriate.
