Listen Later

In this episode, Sheldon, Bridget, and Deborah discuss:

  • Questions to ask to find the right speakers bureau for you.
  • How working with a Speakers Bureau can improve your process and efficiency.
  • The changing landscape of meetings and events

Key Takeaways:

  • It is a team effort! There must be communication and creativity with all involved when booking a speaker.
  • Speakers bureaus bring expertise to the table that you can't get anywhere else.
  • What the audience wants is what we have to learn to deliver.

"Your bureau relationship shouldn't be like contacting Amazon. For me, that's really what it comes down to. An event like ours…that's all about human connection. I think when you try to digitize that or turn it into an order form, you're probably not in the right business." — Bridget Dunn Connect with Bridget Dunn with Association for Talent Development: Twitter: @atd Facebook: Association for Talent Development Website: TD.org Pinterest: ATD LinkedIn: Bridget Dunn & Association for Talent Development (ATD) Instagram: @atdnational Connect with Deborah Gardner: Twitter: @deborahgardner Facebook: Deborah Gardner Website: DeborahGardner.com LinkedIn: Deborah Gardner, CMP Connect with Sheldon Senek with Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau: Twitter: @EaglesTalent & @ss_EaglesTalent Facebook: Eagles Talent Website: EaglesTalent.com Instagram: @eaglestalent YouTube: EaglesTalent LinkedIn: Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau & Sheldon Senek Connect with IASB: Twitter: @IASBWEB Facebook: International Association of Speakers Bureaus Website: IASBWeb.org LinkedIn: International Association of Speakers Bureaus Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
