I wish to thank Free Speakers.org for the outstanding speakers you have made available to my Rotary group. Each and every one has been informative and entertaining. My group is in the far suburbs and some of your speakers have traveled a considerable distance to meet with us. I can’t believe how lucky I am to have found your group – and they really are – FREE!!
I would like to thank you for the wonderful service provided by your enterprise. The opportunity to select our speaker and subject matter is priceless, it also works well on turn around for the speakers to review their audience and have time to get excited about bringing us the best of their presentations. These speaker presentations have proved worthwhile and well accepted by our membership. I select only those titles and subjects that appear to promote subject awareness and education for our members. Thank you again, a patron of FreeSpeakers.org for many years.
I wanted to let you know that your Free Speakers Bureau has been an excellent resource for us in finding speakers for our caregiver support groups. I am looking forward to more speakers this year. I plan to spread the word. Thanks again!

GenAI holds extraordinary promise, but the organizations that will truly benefit from it are not the ones who adopt AI the fastest—they are the ones who adopt it with intention. Next-generation readiness means stepping back from the noise and grounding every AI investment in strategic clarity. It means asking not just “Can we build this?” but “Should we? Why now?

A guest speaker from Free Speakers costs nothing. Every presentation is free to your group, with no fee, no honorarium and no mileage, whether the speaker comes in person or presents online. Neither the speaker nor Free Speakers will ever charge your group.
Groups never pay a dime for a Free Speakers presentation. Speakers pay a small annual membership to be listed, which covers the cost of running the speakers bureau. They join to give back, share their expertise and become better known in their communities.
Free Speakers offers guest speakers in seven cities and 420 virtual speakers nationwide. Choose your city or the virtual speaker list, find a presentation and click Request This Free Speech. Fill out the short form, and the speaker contacts you within three business days to confirm the date and details. A request does not commit your group to booking.
Free Speakers has 420 virtual guest speakers who give free online presentations to groups nationwide, on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet or whichever platform your group uses.
Free Speakers offers in-person guest speakers in Chicago, Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Phoenix, Washington D.C., Los Angeles & Orange County and Dallas-Fort Worth, each with its own local speakers bureau. Most speakers also travel to the surrounding suburbs, though how far depends on the speaker. Groups anywhere else can book a virtual speaker.
Free Speakers matches free guest speakers with Rotary and Kiwanis clubs, libraries, chambers of commerce, senior centers, schools, churches, professional associations, employee groups and many other organizations. Since 1996, it has served more than 4,700 groups.
Free Speakers does not allow speakers to sell products at a presentation. Authors may bring books, but any sales pitch must be extremely low key, because the point is to educate, not to sell. A review team reads every speaker application before the speaker is listed.
