About VBQ Speakers

Our passion is connecting businesses with expert speakers who help them see the world in new, more powerful ways.

Working closely with you, the event host, is absolutely key to our process. We make sure we understand your needs in detail and can show clearly that our speaker recommendations will fulfil your brief. Once you’re happy to proceed, we ensure the contracting, briefing and logistical processes are smooth and efficient, and that everything is in place for yet another successful event.
