The popularity of a having a guest speaker addressing the audience of a conference or industry event has risen dramatically in recent years, yet many are still unsure where to look for the best speakers.  

The Must-See Speakers directory, which will launch in February 2008, is the brain child of Global Speakers managing director Susie Christie and is designed to assist conference organisers and businesses in choosing the best speaker for their event. The easy to use directory provides readers with the top 150 speakers from Australia and New Zealand.  

According to Susie Christie finding the right speaker for your event is paramount and research is the key to ensuring you make the best choice.   

“When looking for a speaker for your event, you want to know the person you are considering is of great quality. The complimentary directory, which is also available on our website, is a highly effective way to source a speaker that is relevant and entertaining,” she said.  

Must-See Speakers contains information on 150 of the best speakers from Australia and New Zealand including surf champion Layne Beachly, comedians Adam Hills, Fiona O’Loghlin and Dave Hughes, General Peter Cosgrove, Peter FitzSimons, former Victorian premier Jeff Kennett, George Negus, Professor Tim Flannery and many more. The directory and website provides readers with a short biography of the speaker, regular polls and testimonials. 

“The best thing about the Must-See Speakers directory is all the speakers you would want to consider for your event are right here, in one easy to use directory. You don’t need to go anywhere else to find a top-end, quality speaker tailored for your event.”  

Fees for the 150 speakers listed in the directory range from as little as $3,000 to $30,000.
