Your Speaker Shortlist

Choosing the right speaker involves balancing several important factors, with audience fit always coming first. The most effective speakers are those who genuinely connect with your audience, offer fresh perspectives, and leave people feeling engaged, inspired or challenged in the right way.

What that “something new” looks like will vary depending on your event goals. Our speakers bring expertise across areas such as leadership development, innovation, entrepreneurship, workplace culture and diversity, technology, work/life balance, and a wide range of industry-specific topics. Beyond subject matter, speaking style, delivery and lived experience all play a crucial role in ensuring a strong connection with the audience.

We start by understanding what success looks like for your event. The more context you can share, about your audience, objectives, format and tone, the more precisely we can advise. From there, we recommend speakers whose expertise, background and approach are well aligned with your brief, ensuring your audience gains genuine value from the session.

Budget is, of course, another important consideration. Our approach of working with speakers at different stages of their careers means we’re often able to recommend outstanding speakers across a wide range of budgets, without compromising on quality or impact.

Whether you have a clear idea of the speaker you’re looking for or need guidance from the outset, we’re here to help you find the right speaker for your event.

We represent a carefully curated roster of keynote and event speakers spanning a wide range of industries, disciplines and expertise areas. This includes C-suite executives, entrepreneurs, authors, academics, charity leaders and campaigners, politicians, technology leaders, diversity advocates, thought leaders, futurists, moderators, panel speakers and event hosts.

What unites our speakers is their depth of expertise and their ability to communicate it effectively. Through professional experience, research or lived insight, our speakers have built genuine credibility in their fields and honed the ability to share that expertise through engaging storytelling and clear, impactful ideas.

Our speakers cover topics including leadership, innovation, technology and AI, sustainability, culture, marketing, diversity and organisational change, and work across a broad range of speaking styles, from technical and analytical to motivational, insightful and witty.

Whether you’re organising a corporate event, academic conference, leadership summit or industry-specific gathering, we’ll help you find speakers who can deliver thoughtful, compelling presentations tailored to your audience and objectives.

Yes, and, this is a very common starting point.

Many clients come to us with a clear sense of what they want their event to achieve, but without knowing exactly which type of speaker will best support that outcome. You may know you want to inspire your audience, introduce new thinking, encourage discussion or set the tone for the day, but translating that into the right speaker format can feel unclear.

That’s where we come in. We’ll take the time to understand your event objectives, audience, format and overall tone, and talk you through the options. This might mean advising on a keynote speaker to anchor the event, an interactive speaker to encourage participation, a panel contributor to add depth and perspective, or a facilitator or host to guide conversation and keep energy high throughout the programme.

Our role is to help you make an informed choice, ensuring the speaker format and style align with your goals and work effectively for your audience. The result is a speaker who feels like a natural fit for your event, not just a name on the agenda.

When making recommendations, we always focus on quality rather than quantity.

Rather than presenting long lists of potential speakers, we take a considered approach, curating a short selection of speakers who closely align with your brief. This allows you to focus on the most relevant options, saving time, reducing uncertainty and making it easier to choose a speaker who will genuinely support your event objectives.

Our recommendations are based not only on subject expertise, but also on factors such as audience fit, speaking style, delivery format and overall tone. This ensures the speakers we put forward are well suited to your event, rather than simply matching a topic on paper.

That said, we’re always flexible. If you’d like to explore a broader range of options, we’re happy to expand the selection or guide you through our wider roster of speakers. Whether you prefer a curated recommendation or a wider choice, we’ll adapt to what works best for you.

Yes, all of our speakers tailor their content.

Once a speaker is confirmed, we support a structured briefing process to ensure their session is shaped around your audience, sector and event objectives. This goes beyond surface-level customisation, allowing the speaker to reflect your context, challenges and priorities in a way that feels genuinely relevant.

Tailoring may include adapting examples and case studies, refining key messages, or adjusting tone and delivery to suit your audience and event format. The result is a session that feels current, considered and closely aligned with your wider event messaging, rather than a generic or off-the-shelf presentation.

Our role is to help ensure the speaker’s content adds real value and feels purpose-built for your event, supporting a more engaging and impactful experience for your audience.

Yes. We represent speakers who are experienced and confident across all event formats.

Our speakers have adapted seamlessly to the evolving event landscape and regularly deliver in-person presentations, virtual talks and hybrid events. Many have invested in professional-grade audio-visual equipment and refined their presentation techniques specifically for digital platforms, ensuring a polished and engaging experience for online audiences.

Whether presenting on screen or in the room, our speakers understand how to maintain audience engagement, facilitate interactive elements such as live Q&A, and deliver clear, impactful messages regardless of format. They are equally comfortable speaking to small, intimate groups or large-scale conferences with thousands of attendees.

We’ll advise on speakers who are well suited to your chosen format, helping ensure a high-quality experience for your audience wherever and however your event takes place.

Yes, inclusive and thoughtful representation is an important part of how we work.

We actively support speaker programmes that reflect a broad range of voices, perspectives and lived experiences. This includes balanced representation across gender, background, professional experience and point of view, as well as diversity of thinking and approach.

If diversity and inclusion are priorities for your event, we’ll work closely with you to understand what that means in context. From there, we can recommend speakers who not only bring expertise, but whose perspectives add depth, relevance and authenticity to your programme. The result is a speaker line-up that feels considered, reflects your values and resonates with a wide and varied audience.

We recommend booking speakers as early as possible, particularly for high-profile keynote speakers and major events.

For larger conferences and key calendar moments, booking six to twelve months in advance is ideal, as popular speakers’ diaries can fill up quickly, especially during peak conference seasons such as spring and autumn. Early planning also gives you the widest possible choice of available speakers.

That said, we understand that events are not always planned far in advance. Thanks to our close relationships with speakers at different stages of their careers, we’re often able to help with shorter notice or last-minute bookings.

Even if your event date is approaching, it’s always worth getting in touch. We’ll advise on availability and help you secure the best possible speaker within your timeframe.

Speaker fees vary depending on a number of factors, including the speaker’s profile and experience, the type and format of the event, audience size, event duration and any travel requirements.

We work with speakers at all stages of their careers, from emerging voices who are building their speaking profiles to internationally recognised thought leaders and senior industry figures. As a guide, professional speakers may start from around £1,200, with mid-tier speakers typically ranging between £2,000 and £5,000. More established speakers, including senior executives and globally recognised experts, may command fees from £5,000 to £30,000 or more.

We work across a wide range of budgets and will only recommend speakers who are appropriate for your investment. We’re transparent about fees and happy to advise early in the process, helping ensure expectations are aligned and you get the best possible speaker for your event.

We take a partnership-led approach to speaker representation and booking.

Rather than simply selling speakers from a catalogue, we focus on understanding your event, your audience and what you want to achieve. This allows us to recommend speakers who are genuinely well suited to your brief, rather than simply available or high profile.

Our advice is curated, thoughtful and grounded in experience. We take the time to get it right, offering honest guidance and practical support throughout the process. For us, success is not just booking a speaker, it’s helping you deliver an event that feels purposeful, engaging and impactful.

Getting started is simple. Just get in touch and tell us about your event.

Whether you already have a speaker in mind or need guidance from the very beginning, we’ll work with you to understand your requirements. Sharing details such as your event date, location, audience size, budget range and preferred topics or speaker types helps us make more informed recommendations.

From there, we’ll provide a curated selection of suitable speakers, along with relevant profiles, videos and supporting information to help you make a confident choice. Once you’ve identified speakers of interest, we can facilitate introductions, provide detailed proposals and manage the booking process, including contracts and logistics.

Our aim is to make finding and booking the right speaker as straightforward and seamless as possible, so you can focus on delivering a successful event.
