We have used Speakers Network Worldwide for many years and they are absolutely wonderful to work with. We’ve never been disappointed with any of the speakers we’ve gotten from them. I could go on and on because you all are GREAT.

MEETING PLANNER FROM AN ASSOCIATION

When I first started in event management, I booked speakers through many well-known firms. It wasn’t long before I realized one agency stood head and shoulders above the rest, and soon became my exclusive “go to” agency. I can’t say enough about Patti Allen and the staff at SNW. Their commitment to one-on-one client attention, service and complete satisfaction is simply unparalleled. When choosing and booking speakers and entertainers, I only work with Speakers Network Worldwide. Period.

EVENT MANAGER, HEALTHCARE

I can’t say enough about the level of personal care I receive from Missy at Speakers Network Worldwide. We have worked together for many years, and she has a deep understanding of my organization and our needs. She is very often onsite at events when we have booked our speaker through Speakers Network. This level of service is rare and truly appreciated.

VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS

I have had the pleasure of working with Missy and Speakers Network Worldwide for several years. She always goes the extra mile to help us find speakers that meet our needs and budget. I never have to worry about our speakers; I know they will be prompt, professional, and informed about our organization and our event. Speakers Network makes my job easier and helps make us look good.
