Our Story

Message from the CEO

Frank Candy, Founder and CEO of American Speakers Bureau Corp., and Bill Gove, Founder of the National Speakers Association

From that time, American Speakers Bureau Corporation set out to be an industry leader by working smart and hard to earn the confidence, trust, and loyalty of our clients.

The idea to start the American Speakers Bureau Corporation started in the Atlanta airport bar when four event planners, authors, and speakers met by chance because of a weather delay, and we discussed strategies to improve the ways we did business.

In 1989 we moved the company from Ohio to Orlando, Florida to work with NASA, Disney, defense contractors, the hospitality industry, and the Florida Convention and Visitors Bureaus. 

Within a short time, we established a great global reputation for excellence, innovation, service, and value. We earned exclusive partnerships with the National Management Association (NMA) and the International Management Council, (IMC) to provide specialized professional leadership training and services around the world.

Over 30 years and thousands of happy corporate and trade association clients have provided us with a wealth of opportunity, experience, and wisdom.

Our clients know and believe in our commitment to listening to them, providing excellent service, and our focus on the details to deliver exceptional results has earned us the highest rating in the marketplace.

Our Promise to You

The team at American Speakers Bureau Corporation will listen to your wants and needs. We promise to assist and represent you, our valued clients, in the best ways possible.

There are occasional circumstances when the American Speakers Bureau Corporation team is unable to assist a client, as our firm is only booking speakers and trainers, and consultants for professional paid events and projects.

We are unable to accept inquiries for donations of time, process any media requests for interviews, or provide any contact information for the speakers, trainers, and consultants we represent. 

Experience Matters

The team at American Speakers Bureau has been providing our exclusive training, plus virtual and on-site conventions services for decades. We focus on your needs and deliver high-quality, quantifiable results.

Our people listen, they understand, and they care.
