Our Testimonial

I have been working with Gordon and Roger with the Speakers Bureau of Canada (SBC) since the turn of the millennium! (Which was formally known as the Speakers Bureau of Alberta). They have been a solid player in the meeting’s industry mainly in Alberta and now throughout Canada. SBC is not only the top bureau I choose to work with they are (and always have been) my favorite since they are always going the extra mile for both their clients and their speakers combined. They are by far the most responsive bureau to meet client and speaker’s needs consistently.

SBC team has supported me for multiple events every year for over 6 and they have been a major resource for me and the other municipalities I work with to find and book speakers for events. Whether virtual or in person, the SBC has been able to supply speakers that have played a significant role in helping our communities, business owners and our team members by hiring speakers who can motivate and drive impact through their experience and expertise. The SBC team is always quick to respond, able to understand my needs and are always there when we need them.

It has been a pleasure to work with the SBC team to find and book speakers for our clients events. They have emerged as a major resource for us when researching speakers and are flexible in supporting each of our clients and the unique processes they have for their events. They have also been able to provide speakers that provide a lot of value to our clients, and we trust their speakers to deliver high level content, tailored for each group we work with.

I am honoured to have been working with the Speakers Bureau of Canada for many years. The SBC family care about the work they do and have always been there to support and serve me when booked for different events. They are professional, flexible and easy to liaise between myself and the client, to ensure the success of the event. They are consistent to the industry standards in Canada, with the added bonus of having an authentic passion for what they do.I have recommended several speakers become members of SBC, and some of my most valued colleagues are now on the roster
