Booking a Speaker and Why it Makes Sense to Use a Speakers Bureau IASBpodcast

In this episode, Sheldon, Bridget, and Deborah discuss: 
Questions to ask to find the right speakers bureau for you.   How working with a Speakers Bureau can improve your process and efficiency.   The changing landscape of meetings and events  
Key Takeaways: 
It is a team effort! There must be communication and creativity with all involved when booking a speaker.   Speakers bureaus bring expertise to the table that you can’t get anywhere else.   What the audience wants is what we have to learn to deliver.  
"Your bureau relationship shouldn’t be like contacting Amazon. For me, that’s really what it comes down to. An event like ours…that’s all about human connection. I think when you try to digitize that or turn it into an order form, you’re probably not in the right business." —  Bridget Dunn
