A Pioneer in the Professional Speaking Industry

Founded by Barbara Bartos and Glenn Smith in 1994, Speakers.com helped transform the speaking industry by launching the first online resource dedicated to professional speakers and entertainers.

Our experienced speaker agents, event coordinators, and administrative professionals work together to provide the kind of responsive, individualized support that meeting planners value. We believe that successful events begin with understanding our clients, not simply recommending names from a speaker directory.
