A speakers bureau like Promenade, that follows a “broker” model means they don’t rely on their own “exclusive” talent. Meeting and event organizers partnering with this bureau type benefit in many ways:

• Short event planning lead times benefit from a conflict-free single sourcing contact.
• Bureaus are consolidating, agents and manager move around more often. Processes are more bureaucratic. We’re small and simple by design so you’ll always know who and how to secure talent in a pinch.
• The number of professional speakers is in the tens of thousands and growing rapidly. A speaker specialist without contractual ties to a select few is best able to keep up with them.
• More consistent talent recruiting approach, contracting and payment terms.
  • No need to re-explain how your company works to each speaker who is approached or booked, every event.
• Objective, strategically sound recommendations.
  • Instead of self-serving pitches from each speaker or celebrity bureaus that favor their “exclusive” rosters. Celebrity bureaus are heavily incentivized to recommend their exclusives.
• Global reach – talent network throughout the US, Canada and overseas.
• Relationships with multiple celebrity bureaus, to access their best resources at no extra cost.
• Unbiased perspective on of which speakers have the right experience, content, temperament, pricing, AV technology and flexibility for your virtual/hybrid events.
