Managers, CEOs, small business owners, meeting planners, association executives, university directors, human resource personnel
and other key decision makers visit Speakers Platform to research and secure business training, keynote speakers and other learning
resources they need for building and maintaining successful organizations. By incorporating the expertise of our members and
the latest Internet technologies, Speakers Platform has become the most popular professional keynote speaker site on the
Web (according to Internet rating sites, including Alexa).
The diverse exposure, networking opportunities and marketing benefits provided with full membership is truly
outstanding.
Full members receive a custom information Web site within the popular Speakers Platform Web site, are listed in the 'browse by
topic' and 'browse by names' indexes and are actively promoted to Speakers Platform Bureau clients by our agents, paper catalog,
speaker showcases, mailings and Web site.
If you feel you would be a good addition to our world class experts roster, then we
urge you to apply for full membership. Membership is free; we only secure a commission when we book you for an event or program
with one of our clients. We do not maintain any exclusive speaker arrangements so you are free to work with whomever you
choose.
If you would like to be considered for representation by Speakers Platform, please simply email us a link to your existing Web site (with bio, program information, testimonials, blog, etc.) and a specific link to one or more online speaking video clips. If you don't have everything in electronic format, you can also postal mail your DVD and other information to:

We will need the following items to thoroughly evaluate your information kit and potential for bureau membership:
- A professional demo video (required item).

"bureau friendly" so that none of your contact information appears.
- List of Topics/Presentations, along with a brief
description or outline of each. These should also be "bureau friendly".
- Photograph (black & white and color)
-
Fee Schedule: please include your entire fee schedule (including international rates) using gross fees. *please note that we no longer
work with "net" fees. We only quote "gross" fees. If you have any questions about this, please email us and we can provide you with a detailed discussion
about this policy and answer any pricing questions you might have.
- Five Speaking References (within the past 12 month period).
Due to the large quantity of speaker applications we receive each
week, we can only reply to those accepted. We also cannot return any submitted
materials, so please do not send originals.
