About
www.speakers.comThe origins of the modern lecture industry can be traced to the founding of Speakers.com in 1994, when it launched the world’s very first website for professional public speakers. Through innovation and the experience of its founders, Speakers.com blazed the path that others would later follow.
The premier of Speakers.com (originally Speakers On-line) was a labor of love of its founders, Barbara Bartos, a veteran in the speaking industry since 1987, and Glenn Smith, a business technology consultant since 1988. The success of their collaboration also led to the founding of InterSpeak, Inc. in 1995, an international full-service speakers bureau.
Today, Speakers.com continues to break new ground in the speaking industry by merging the professional resources of one of the industry’s top speakers bureaus, InterSpeak, Inc., with the power of its innovative “Direct Access” speaker database. The result is the world’s premiere speaker resource. Speakers.com works the way you want to! It’s the ONLY speaker resource offering TWO options to locate the perfect speaker for your event:
Option #1:
For meeting planners who prefer to be “hands-on” and initiate contact directly with a speaker, we offer “Direct Access.” First, power-search the Speakers.com database to locate your ideal speaker. When a speaker’s bio indicates that he is a “Direct Access” speaker, pressing the “check availability” link will send your request directly to that speaker or his representative. They will then contact you within 24 hours (most likely sooner.) Unlike unfiltered search engines, such as Yahoo or Google, only prescreened and highly qualified speakers are listed at Speakers.com.
Option #2:
For busy meeting planners looking for informed advice, innovative program ideas and the ultimate value in terms of both your time and money, work with an experienced Speakers.com consultant. Our speaker consultants are consistently praised for providing targeted solutions and individualized service unsurpassed in the industry. A number of speakers can only be accessed through a Speakers.com consultant.
