Why are Speaker Bureaus so Valuable?

Organisations derive significant benefits from booking a speaker. With that being said, what does a speaker bureau bring to the table? Why should organisations not simply source a speaker themselves?

Here are some reasons why organisations should use a speaker bureau, to name a few!

Increased Accountability, Vetting & Matching

Speaker bureaus are likely to repeat hire speakers and have an established relationship with them. Speakers sourced through a bureau are fully vetted; both parties now have a vested interest in the role they play and so you as a client are more likely to receive a better delivery as a result. Bureaus are experienced in dealing with speakers, therefore increasing the efficiency, reliability and accountability of the speaker.

We represent speakers we trust, while carefully filtering through hundreds of applications monthly. We are experts. Our consultants are not traditional sales people, they have experiences, background and knowledge of the trending relevant subjects at hand and knowing what corporations need. We advise finding the right speakers according to the event’s theme and objectives, budget and audience.

Increased Efficiency & Logistics

A speaker bureau’s professionals can cut through the noise and help clients make the best decisions when it comes to matching a speaker to an event.

The bureau can sort all the logistics and administration so you can focus on wider strategy and bigger thinking. Speaker bureaus have in-house large logistic and administration departments to coordinate the speaker’s offsite and onsite logistics such as travel, ground transportation, meals, and accommodations, relieving the organisation of these responsibilities.

Having provided speakers and advisers to well over 3,000 different events in 70 different countries last year, London Speaker Bureau is well-positioned and experienced in providing comprehensive cover of all the time-consuming details of booking a speaker.

Increased Performance

The extensive experience allows bureaus to decide what works (and doesn’t work) in different scenarios, ensuring you get the speaker you are looking for. Bureaus also have large networks with high caliber and profile speakers who can often be difficult to contact.

These networks can help you bypass the gatekeepers to the speakers, again improving efficiency. With 30-years in the industry, London Speaker Bureau will allow you to connect with anyone. Dream big.

Increased Performance

Reduced Risk

Finally, using a speaker bureau reduces the risk you expose yourself to in dealing with a speaker. Speakers may be unable to make the event and cancel last minute.

Working with a bureau protects you from this as they have the ability to find high-quality last-minute replacements if required via their extensive network of speakers. Working with a bureau also reduces the likelihood of an underwhelming speaker, due to the increased accountability already mentioned.

Therefore, it’s clear to see the benefits of bringing in a speaker to your organisation; they can provide a number of specific, esoteric, invaluable lessons and opportunities to you and in order to maximise these a speaker bureau should be used.
