Our Story

Art Berg, our founder, had an idea, and like most of his ideas, it was big. He was a professional speaker who’d been working successfully for many years when he noticed that all a great speaker needed to thrive was the chance to do what he loved. He felt that if speakers, trainers, and coaches all over the world could build and manage their business on simple, powerful technology, they’d have the time and energy they needed to grow their speaking careers to new heights.

As the Internet became the way we all do business, eSpeakers provided for another need in the industry: a way for event organizers to easily find the perfect speaker, among thousands, for each audience they are responsible for. The eSpeakers Marketplace technology lets us and our partner directories help meeting professionals all over the world connect directly with speakers for great engagements.

Several years later, thousands of successful speakers, trainers, and coaches use eSpeakers to build their businesses and manage their calendars. Thousands of event organizers use our directories every day to find and hire speakers. We like to think Art would be pleased. We’ve built our technology on years of research and development alongside leading speakers, trainers, coaches, event organizers, speaker bureaus, and speaker management companies. Our tools are built for speakers, by speakers, to do things that only purpose-built systems can.
