  <title>Booking a Speaker and Why it Makes Sense to Use a Speakers Bureau</title>
  <description>In this episode, Sheldon, Bridget, and Deborah discuss:&amp;amp;nbsp;  Questions to ask to find the right speakers bureau for you. &amp;amp;nbsp; How working with a Speakers Bureau can improve your process and efficiency. &amp;amp;nbsp; The changing landscape of meetings and events    Key Takeaways:&amp;amp;nbsp;  It is a team effort! There must be communication and creativity with all involved when booking a speaker. &amp;amp;nbsp; Speakers bureaus bring expertise to the table that you can’t get anywhere else. &amp;amp;nbsp; What the audience wants is what we have to learn to deliver.    &amp;quot;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.&amp;quot; —&amp;amp;nbsp; Bridget Dunn    Connect with Bridget Dunn with Association for Talent Development: Twitter: @atd Facebook: Association for Talent Development Website: TD.org Pinterest: ATD LinkedIn: Bridget Dunn &amp;amp;amp;  Association for Talent Development (ATD)  Instagram: @atdnational    Connect with Deborah Gardner: Twitter: @deborahgardner Facebook: Deborah Gardner Website: DeborahGardner.com LinkedIn: Deborah Gardner, CMP    Connect with Sheldon Senek with Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau:  Twitter: @EaglesTalent &amp;amp;amp; @ss_EaglesTalent Facebook: Eagles Talent Website: EaglesTalent.com Instagram: @eaglestalent YouTube: EaglesTalent LinkedIn:  Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau &amp;amp;amp; Sheldon Senek    Connect with IASB: Twitter: @IASBWEB Facebook: International Association of Speakers Bureaus  Website: IASBWeb.org LinkedIn:  International Association of Speakers Bureaus    Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie    Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
