How we work

We make speaker selection feel simple

A clear process designed to reduce your risk and save your time, from first conversation to standing ovation.

What working with us looks like

01

The brief conversation

We start with a real conversation, not a form. We want to understand your event, your audience, the outcome you are aiming for, and what would make you feel confident in your choice.

We also ask the questions that surface what really matters, things most planners think about but rarely say out loud.

02

Curated speaker recommendations

Based on your brief, we recommend 2-3 speakers with clear reasoning for each. Not a catalogue. Not a database search. A considered shortlist based on relevance, audience fit, and track record.

For each speaker, you get

  • Why they fit your event and audience
  • What makes their approach distinct
  • Proof of impact (testimonials, case examples, video)
  • Logistics and availability

03

Decision support

Choosing between strong candidates can still feel hard. We help you compare, weigh trade-offs, and think through internal alignment, so the decision feels clear before you commit.

If you need to present the recommendation to a team or committee, we give you what you need to make the case.

04

Booking and preparation

Once you have chosen, we handle coordination between you and the speaker. We support the briefing process to make sure the keynote is tailored and the logistics are smooth.

Our job is to make sure the experience is professional from the first email to the last applause.

What you can expect

Five things we promise — and deliver, every time.

  • Fast response times.

    We reply within one business day, usually faster.

  • Honest recommendations.

    If we do not have the right fit, we will say so.

  • No pressure.

    We guide, we do not push.

  • Customisation support.

    We help speakers understand your audience so the talk lands.

  • One point of contact.

    You deal with us, not a rotating team.

FAQ

Answers to the questions buyers actually ask.

How is GoldSpeakers different from a traditional speaker bureau?
Most bureaus give you a list. We give you a recommendation. We focus on fit, not volume, and we work with both sides of the market, so we understand what makes a match work.
How do you choose which speakers to recommend?
We evaluate speakers on relevance, audience fit, track record, communication quality, and ability to customise. We do not recommend speakers we have not assessed ourselves.
What types of events do you work with?
Conferences, leadership summits, company kickoffs, association events, customer-facing events, and internal change or culture programs. If you have a stage and an audience, we can help.
What does it cost?
Our advisory service is free for buyers. Speaker fees vary depending on the speaker, format, and scope. We are transparent about pricing from the start.
How far in advance should I reach out?
The earlier, the better. For major events, 3-6 months ahead gives us the best options. But we have helped with tighter timelines too.
Can you help if I already have a shortlist?
Yes. We can review your list, help you evaluate options, and add recommendations if there is a gap.
What if the speaker cancels?
It is rare, but it happens. We always have a backup plan and will work quickly to find an alternative that fits.
