The original
speakers bureau. Since 1994.

The bureau that started the industry.

In 1994 — before Google, before the modern web — Barbara Bartos, a veteran of the speaking industry since 1987, and Glenn Smith, a small-business technology consultant, launched Speakers.com as the very first website for professional speakers. It set the standard the rest of the industry would spend the next thirty years following.

Three decades on, that same obsession with service has booked standing-ovation speakers in every U.S. state and over 70 countries — from Nobel laureates and astronauts to the quiet operators who move a room. We handle every detail, so you can focus on the moment.
