MATCHED TO YOUR FORMAT
Browse by Event Type
Different events call for different speakers. Find talent matched to your specific format.
KNOW YOUR THEME
Browse by Topic
Browse our full roster by category to find speakers who specialize in the content that matters most to your audience.
Browse by Industry
Speakers who know the room before they walk into it, because they have worked in it. Each page is built around what that sector actually gets wrong, not a filtered list.
OR START FROM THE PERSON
Browse by Background
Sometimes the credential is the message. Sort the roster by what our speakers did before they ever stood on a stage.
Every state below has its own guide, written for planners rather than for search engines. Each one covers the industries that actually shape the room, the weeks worth avoiding, the travel and venue constraints that catch visitors out, and the briefing notes a speaker needs before they arrive. If you are choosing between two markets, or defending a date to a board, start there.

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to work with Amplify Speakers?+
Nothing. There is no fee for event planners to use our services. Amplify’s compensation is paid by the speaker as part of the engagement. You get expert guidance, a curated shortlist, and full logistics support at no cost to you.
How quickly can you turn around recommendations?+
Most event planners receive a curated shortlist within 24–48 hours of reaching out. For urgent bookings, we can often move faster. Tell us your timeline and we’ll work around it.
Do you only represent speakers on your website?+
No. While our website features a growing roster, we regularly source talent beyond our published list through our industry relationships. If you have a specific speaker in mind, we can often help secure them. Learn more.
What information do you need to get started?+
The more you can tell us, the better our recommendations. Helpful details include event date and location, audience size and description, topic or theme, budget range, and any speakers you’ve already considered. Even a rough draft is enough to get started.
What if I need a speaker on short notice?+
We handle last-minute bookings regularly. Reach out immediately with your event details and we’ll tell you honestly what’s available. Most experienced speakers have some flexibility, especially for events within a few weeks.
How does the contract and payment process work?+
Once you select a speaker, we provide an agreement outlining fees, deliverables, cancellation terms, and logistics expectations. Payment is typically made in two installments — a deposit at signing and the balance prior to the event. We walk you through every step. Learn more.
