Canada's Original Speakers Bureau
National Speakers Bureau understands that finding the perfect speaker is just one of many key elements for creating a spectacular event. With over 35 years in the industry, we are your source for leading speakers across North America and sole agent to many of Canada's most prominent individuals. NSB has an international reputation for providing fast, friendly, knowledgeable support, fair pricing, and worldwide speaker access.
Our company was founded in an era of optimism, forward thinking, and national pride. Thirty-five years later, these three values continue to influence the growth and activities of the National Speakers Bureau.
From our start in 1973, we have grown and evolved into two strong divisions, offices in Vancouver and Toronto, and affiliates in many parts of the world. But our goal remains the same: to help Canadians be heard, whether they are speakers, authors, or representatives of large organizations.
Today, National Speakers Bureau is meeting and exceeding the demand for speakers who inspire, inform and engage their audiences. Not only does the NSB provide the finest services, we also offer the most extensive assortment of speakers in the country. When the Bureau was first created, there were 13 speakers listed in the directory. Now the NSB is the sole agent for over 100 speakers, and works with thousands of others.
A look through the National Speakers Bureau's directory reads as a "Who's Who", featuring many of the leading speakers, experts, entertainers and opinion-makers in Canada and around the world. The roster includes: Astronaut Dave Williams, Talk show legend Vicki Gabereau, CBC Commentator Rex Murphy, Greenpeace Founder Patrick Moore, Lt. General Roméo Dallaire, and Olympian Mark Tewksbury to name a few.
We are an active member of many organizations, including: Meeting Professionals International (MPI), Canadian Society of Association Executives (CSAE), Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) and, as our subsidiary, Global Speakers Agency, with the International Association of Speaker's Bureaus (IASB) and convention bureaus across the country.
Owned and operated by Perry Goldsmith, the parent company Contemporary Group of Communications Companies is now the largest communications company of its type in Canada, with a speakers bureau and a public relations firm. The divisions or affiliated companies include;

NSB RAVE REVIEWS
"Once again the National Speakers Bureau team helped me to find the perfect speaker to open our Annual National Conference of 800 delegates. NSB's ability to understand my parameters for a speaker saved me countless hours of research and I have yet to be disappointed with the speakers or the outcome. Job well done."

"You have been extremely helpful in this process, and I want you to know I appreciate it very much. Your agency was one of three that I investigated, and you were the only representative that made any further follow-up contact after my initial phone inquiry. I also think you provided speaker suggestions that most closely matched what we were looking for. If ever we need to book a speaker for any future event, please know that I will contact you and your agency first."
