Our roster of keynote speakers is made up of first-class business leaders, inspiring story makers, educated minds, celebrities, notable sports figures, positive movement change-makers, thought leaders, world leaders, best-selling authors, and news/radio/television personalities in the world.
Broadening our roster of first-class professional speakers is high-priority to continuing the exceptional service we provide for our clients. If you are starting out in the industry or your current fees are below $5,000 per booked speaking engagement, we strongly recommend contacting The National Speakers Association for guidance.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION: Where can I find the Individual Speaker Profile Pages, Main Speaker Roster, and Topic Pages on the TBWSB Website?
Answer: The Baltimore Worldwide Speakers Bureau (TBWSB) chooses not to post on our website individual speaker profile pages, our main TBWSB Speaker Roster, or individual topic pages with speaker information on them so we can connect directly with and deliver to clients - statewide • nationwide • worldwide - our first-class 'personal-touch approach,' exceptional service, and Strong R.O.I. recommendations of high-quality speakers from our in-house speaker network. Our distinguished 'personal-touch approach' has been very successful and highly rated by our greatly appreciated clients for over two decades now! It sets us above and apart from many of the speaker agencies online today, even a few of our top-rated speaker bureau partners.
SPEAKER MANAGEMENT SUBMISSION
The Baltimore Worldwide Speakers Bureau's Speaker Management Services
TBWSB is always looking to partner with proven professionals who are in need of speaker management services. Our management team allows the speaker to focus on what they love … their speaking engagements, their profession, and family. With our speakers, we become an extended office, taking care of business: professional advice, inquiries, logistics, negotiating and marketing.
The Value of Working with The Baltimore Worldwide Speakers Bureau
We provide representation for speakers by utilizing our extensive relationships with in-house clients, professional meeting planners, production companies, and many speaker bureaus partners. We will feature the speaker on our affiliate website (MOTIVATIONmagazine.com) as well as work to maximize exposure with other professional groups and bureaus by providing news-worthy content, updates, video links, bios, programs, and topics. We’ll use all channels, such as direct messaging, e-newsletters, in-person networking, and social media.
We will help guide the speaker on their speaking career, provide professional advice on presentations, marketing and branding.
We become the speaker’s office by handling all speaking inquiries from possible clients in a fast and efficient manner, ensuring we give up-to-date fees, expenses. We take the time to understand exactly how a client is interested in using the speaker, and, in turn, negotiate an appropriate fee on the speaker’s behalf.
We work to manage the speaker’s calendar, including leads, holds, and upcoming events in order to qualify serious requests.
We issue firm offers and contracts on the speaker’s behalf, as well as handle all logistics which include travel, riders, and conference calls. We also take care of invoicing for deposits/balances/expenses for speaking engagements.
Speakers Who Are The Best Fit For TBWSB
Speakers who are the best fit for us typically already have 'consistent' incoming business. They are in need of PARTNERING with a reputable and reliable management service because they are way too busy with speaking engagements (writing books, their profession, etc.) to handle incoming requests and need help managing the calendar, logistics. They also may need assistance in developing professional speaker relationships. Our services are generally not geared towards speakers who are just starting their speaking careers (with fees under $5,000 per paid speaking engagement).
*** Refrain from calling our business offices.
We may take up to a month to get back to you and if you do not hear from us in that time frame, it means we will not be partnering with or adding you to our TBWSB Speaker Roster.
