About us

Speakers Academy® represents the most influential experts and thought leaders in the world. Together with our speakers, we craft meaningful and innovative stories for our clients and their audiences, in Europe and beyond. Stories that need to be told. This is how we fulfill our mission every day: ‘Bringing Knowledge to the World‘.

Mission and vision

Speakers Academy exists to bring knowledge to the world. We connect speakers with events and bring people together around ideas that matter. An idea only becomes powerful when it is shared. That is why we turn every event into a moment of inspiration, awareness, and genuine connection.

Our vision is as simple as it is ambitious. We aim to create unforgettable experiences by connecting our clients with the sharpest thinkers, the boldest pioneers, and the most inspiring voices of our time. We work only with speakers of the highest calibre, whose stories move, challenge, and leave a lasting impression.

Core values

In everything we do, integrity and quality come first, with people at the heart of it all. We believe in the power of diversity. For us, it is the story that counts, not someone’s background, age, sexuality, gender, faith, or status.

Transparency and openness form the foundation of every collaboration. We say what we do and do what we say. This is how we build relationships that last for years, with our speakers and with our clients.

Why Speakers Academy

We have been the market leader since 1997 and know exactly how to match the right speaker to the right stage. In over thirty years, we have helped more than 50,000 satisfied clients find their perfect speaker or moderator. With access to over 25,000 speakers worldwide, there is always the right name for every theme, every audience, and every budget. Speakers from our network have already taken the stage in 69 countries around the globe.

Pioneering is in our DNA. In 1999, we launched Europe’s first online speakers bureau, and in 2004, the world’s first speakers magazine, ACADEMY®. This head start translates into the quality our clients experience time and again, reflected in an average rating of 9.2. Some speakers have been with us for over 25 years. That says everything about the way we build and maintain relationships.
