Criteria for consideration as a speaker

Thank you for your interest in Republic Speakers Bureau and GreatKeynoteSpeakers.com. We are not actively seeking new speakers to add to our roster. However, we are always interested in adding outstanding speakers. If you are a successful professional speaker and have a good understanding of the speaker/bureau/meeting planner relationship, we will consider you.

Our ability to represent you depends primarily on the promotional materials and supporting information you provide. With the exception of celebrities, best-selling authors, and business gurus with popular topics, our clients rely heavily on a speaker's demo video and promotional packet when making a selection. Promotional materials must be effective and professionally produced, and must include the following:

On a separate page, provide your e-mail and web site address, along with a list of any supporting information that can be provided to us digitally (one-sheets, topic descriptions, photos, etc.).

Also, please note that speakers must be "podium-ready", i.e., we are not interested in coaching or training speakers. There are individual consultants and trainers available for these services.

If you meet all the above criteria, please submit your materials to:

Republic Speakers Bureau
ATTN: New Speaker Review

Nashville, TN 37214

You may contact Larry Baltz via e-mail (lbaltz@greatkeynotespeakers.com) about 2-3 weeks after forwarding the materials for our response to your submission. If we are interested in further discussion, we will contact you. Whether we are interested or not, your materials will not be returned.
