Thanks so much for providing us with such a variety of high quality speakers. We’ve taken the opportunity to schedule several lunch and learn programs. All very interesting. They (the speakers) arrive prompt and prepared, never a disappointment.
I have used FreeSpeakers.org several times for our Chicago-area Mensa group’s monthly gathering. Each may have been free, but each has been as professional as those we’ve hired who had a high fee. Every one of them has arrived on time, been fully prepared, given a fascinating presentation, and been very personable in chatting with interested people who stuck around after the “official” part of the night’s duties. They’re so good that it makes me feel guilty they are doing it for free!
I’m delighted to comment on my 10± year relationship with Freespeakers.org. Years ago as a nonprofit event organizer constantly in search of speakers willing to present in gratis; Freespeakers.org provided an array of great speakers with relevant and interesting topics that added so much to the success of our organization’s member events. Later, as a consultant seeking new connections and opportunities to share my knowledge and experience to help others I found a steady flow of opportunities to give back to the community. Both experiences over the years with Freespeakers.org have been professionally rewarding in numerous ways. In planning meetings and events, they offer an endless source of great speakers to organizations. As a speaker, I’ve been afforded an opportunity to sharpen my skills continually and contribute beneficial service to groups as I seek to give back! In my opinion, Freespeakers.org has created the ultimate WIN-WIN situation for all!
