TIP: Book Speakers Via a Speakers Bureau
Speakers bureaus provide added value that you cannot get booking speakers directly. Better price negotiation, insurance, smooth logistics, value add-ons --- such as free books, additional sessions and more --- are just a few of the benefits working with bureaus. And, the best part, bureaus are FREE (they get paid by the speaker).

Christopher Knight -- CA USA, Contact for fee schedule
Once and forever a Brady! Christopher Knight met life as a child actor, starring as Peter Brady in the Brady Bunch, a baby boomer phenomenon seemingly bigger by the year. A reluctant icon, Christopher has focused his adult years on interests beyond the entertainment industry, particularly the corporate world of computers and high technology. Yet, due to the omnipresent and flourishing legacy of all things Brady, Christopher’s successful endeavors beyond show business exist in peaceful subordination to his portrayal of Peter and his arguably estimable contribution to American pop culture. Ironically, the more success Christopher achieves in the corporate arena the more that success is shared with his other more public persona of Peter. Evidently, being a Brady is inescapable and apparently ageless. So in an act of self-unification, Christopher is returning to his entertainment roots and is seriously exploring his options as an actor, host, spokesperson and erstwhile entertainment figure.
