What is a Speakers Bureau?
A Speakers Bureau is a service that connects companies and other organizations with talented individuals who can deliver quality, entertaining and engaging professional presentations on a myriad of topics to their audiences. The choice of speaker for an event can be one of the most important decisions made in the planning process due to the fact that the speaker is often one of the most memorable aspects for attendees.

The Building Bridges Chicago Speakers Bureau is a collection of experienced small business leaders who will share their experience and expertise at your event.
