Where to hire professional speakers

Hiring the correct public speaker can mark the difference between a successful event which inspires, makes people laugh and generally end the night on a good note and one that can be a flat toast that no one remembers for the right reasons and therefore which fails to achieve anything that it was meant to. This article will look at where to find the best speakers.

After dinner

Finding the right after-dinner speakers can be very important. You need to find one that captures the mood of the evening and provides your guests with something to think about. Websites There are a number of websites where you can check out potential speakers. One such site is prime performers. This site has top speakers such as comedian Stephen K. Amos and political reporter Andrew Marr. The site gives you a quick biography as well as booking details for each speaker and they provide speakers for all occasions. Speakers4u Another site Speakers4u, offers a similar service though the guests are less high-profile. However, they are still names that people will recognise and more than likely, enjoy listening to.

Motivational

Motivational speaking and speakers are a different type of booking. Whether you are looking for business motivation or motivation on a more personal level, the selection should reflect the message that you are trying to project to the audience. Gordon Poole agency
The Gordon Poole agency offers a selection of recognisable guest speakers from the world of sport, business and television. The website offers users the chance to watch videos of the speaker as well as a complete resume for each performer. Selections of motivational and event speakers also work independently and have their own websites. These are worth checking out as the booking fees can sometimes be lower than when going through an agency.

Corporate

Business speakers such as Derek Arden will most likely advertise themselves and so, finding the correct conference speaker or corporate speaker would require more in-depth research than simply going through an agency.
Speakers Corner You can look at a speaker’s bureau such as Speakers Corner. It has a selection of corporate speakers and the site divides its speakers into alphabetical order as well as by type. When you select a speaker, it gives you a full biography page as well as testimonials and a brief Q and A session with each speaker.
Raise the bar Another site, Raise the bar, offers a similar service but its speakers are more specific to areas such as motivation and business. The site gives full biographical information and booking information, but unlike Speakers corner, here you book through the site rather than having contact information on each speaker.
