How do we utilize the Edge-U-Cate Speaker's Bureau?
The process is actually quite easy:
1. Contact Edge-U-Cate via phone or email. We'll walk you through the process of selecting possible speakers and/or topics for your event. If you're not sure exactly what you want, we can make suggestions based on the information you provide us. You selection can be made by speaker, or by topic, or both. Each of our speakers present on multiple topics, and many of the topics can be presented by one of several speakers. Speaker and topic selections are finalized based on your requirements and specific speaker availability.
2. Once you have selected a program and/or a specific speaker, we will contact the speaker and determine his/her availability for the dates of your event. If a specific speaker is not available on that date, we will identify an alternate speaker for the specific topic you have chosen. We will then notify you of the speaker that is available to present that topic.
3. If the speaker and topic meet with your approval, we will send you a contract specifying our agreement, along with an overview of the program and the speaker's bio for use in your promotional material. All you need to do is sign and return the contract, and we're set to go!
4. During your planning process, we are always available to answer questions or offer ideas. As the date of the event approaches, we will be in touch to make final preparations for your speaker's visit. Our goal is to make this piece of your event planning an easy one!
