There must be communication and creativity with all involved when booking a speaker. &amp;nbsp; Speakers bureaus bring expertise to the table that you can\u2019t get anywhere else. &amp;nbsp; What the audience wants is what we have to learn to deliver.  \u202f &quot;Your bureau relationship shouldn\u2019t be like contacting Amazon. For me, that\u2019s really what it comes down to. An event like ours\u2026that\u2019s all about human connection. I think when you try to digitize that or turn it into an order form, you\u2019re probably not in the right business.&quot; \u2014&amp;nbsp; Bridget Dunn  \u202f 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;  Association for Talent Development (ATD)  Instagram: @atdnational \u202f  Connect with Deborah Gardner: Twitter: @deborahgardner Facebook: Deborah Gardner Website: DeborahGardner.com LinkedIn: Deborah Gardner, CMP \u202f  Connect with Sheldon Senek with Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau:  Twitter: @EaglesTalent &amp;amp; @ss_EaglesTalent Facebook: Eagles Talent Website: EaglesTalent.com Instagram: @eaglestalent YouTube: EaglesTalent LinkedIn:  Eagles Talent Speakers Bureau &amp;amp; Sheldon Senek \u202f  Connect with IASB: Twitter: @IASBWEB Facebook: International Association of Speakers Bureaus  Website: IASBWeb.org LinkedIn:  International Association of Speakers Bureaus  \u202f Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-Sturkie  \u202f Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
