The Speakers Bureau of Canada is on a Mission.

Through every speaker, every event, and every presentation, we define impact by what changes after the session—advancing people, organizations, industries, and communities in Canada.

How our Speakers Create Impact:

Inspire and inform the why behind a topic through personal experience and relevant stories
Engage the audience in the who, what, and where so ideas feel real and usable
Empower individuals to apply what they’ve learned immediately, so they’re prepared for what’s next

We believe organizations make better decisions when new ideas enter the room, shared by speakers who understand the audience, align to event goals, and drive measurable impact through clarity. The Speakers Bureau of Canada exists to help event planners and organizers find, hire, and book keynote speakers in Canada with confidence through a structured process that protects alignment, quality standards, company goals, timelines, and delivery. We learn your event, organization, and audience, then provide speaker recommendations, booking and market insight, and customized shortlists of qualified keynote speakers who inspire, engage, and empower, so results last beyond the session. We measure impact by how many attendees we touch with our speakers each year, creating the opportunity for change. Through our work and our speakers, we shape how individuals and organizations think, lead, and act, through the power of perspective. Read More

As a Canadian speakers bureau, we represent top keynote speakers, motivational speakers, celebrity speakers, professional speakers, guest speakers, public speakers, thought leaders, leading experts, moderators, emcees, and virtual speakers. We help you match the right speaker to the right audience by topic, type, location, and within your budget, so your shortlist is relevant, qualified, and decision-ready. Our speakers deliver presentations for organizations across Canada at a corporate event, conference, convention, annual general meeting, town hall, leadership retreat, webinar, or online event in Canada. Every engagement is managed with precision, expert guidance, qualified speakers, and customized content aligned to your objectives, so the session delivers. We bring forward what has worked, challenge what no longer fits, and deliver progressive ideas for what’s next. Read More

Thoughts shape identity and purpose. Ideas drive innovation and growth. The speaker market is noisy, timelines are tight, and one operational miss can compromise the entire event, the audience experience, and the reputation of every stakeholder. We enable speaker bookings that hold up under real event conditions—regardless of size, timeline, or complexity. We protect execution through process discipline across availability, quotes, logistics, contracting, and event readiness, so the right speaker is secured, prepared, and aligned from selection through delivery. We represent professional speakers and experts who inspire, engage, and empower audiences with practical, actionable insight, helping individuals grow, teams perform, and organizations move forward with clarity. Our keynote speakers bring up-to-date content, research on the latest trends, and presentations customized to your organization, delivered through interactive experiences, actionable takeaways, and outcomes that stick. Read More

Organizations don’t book speakers to fill a slot. They book speakers to address ongoing challenges, keep pace with evolving trends, accelerate learning, and activate their audience toward the outcomes the organization needs. Ongoing statistics place the keynote speaker as the top "memorable experience" of each event, and therefore should be your number one investment. Great keynote speakers fill seats, bring people together, keep them engaged, reinforce the event purpose, inspire new learning and bring people back year after year. Through storytelling, real-life experience, and tailored messaging, our speakers introduce new ways of thinking that lead to better ways of doing. By blending inspirational stories with expertise, the latest trends with actionable insight, our speakers reshape perspective, strengthen corporate culture, create team synergy and provide strategic solutions for sustainable change, shaping individuals, organizations, and communities. Our speakers bring the experiences required to leave a lasting impression, memorable experience and unforgettable event. Read More

Trending Types of Speakers in Canada

The Speakers Bureau of Canada organizes Canadian keynote speakers by keynote speaker types so event planners can quickly find the right fit for their audience and agenda. Our categories include leading authorities, subject matter experts, and speakers who are experts at presenting for specific industries and audiences—each selected for two constants: authenticity and expertise. Search for a Canadian keynote speaker by type to match your audience, industry, and event program, with speaker credibility validated through educational background, work experience, and previous clients. The right speaker type builds trust fast, strengthens audience connection, and delivers practical strategy with clear learning outcomes that support the purpose of the event. Types of speakers that specialize on a topic or industry create instant connection between the audience and the speaker, enabling learning and maximizing learning outcomes. Read More

Find a Local Keynote Speaker Near the Event

Event planners often search outside the event location for the best speaker on a topic before reviewing a directory of local speakers, and strong local talent can be overlooked. Booking local keynote speakers and local motivational speakers can be a rewarding decision—supporting the local economy, giving new speakers a chance, and bringing in a credible speaker attendees may already recognize. Local speakers often understand the geographic, demographic, and socio-economic realities of the region, which helps the message feel more relatable and timely. Speakers Bureau of Canada specializes in helping organizations search for speakers by location and find the perfect speaker by city, province, and region. Local speakers will understand the audience, industries, demographics, current challenges and the current affairs that impact them socially, politically or in business in Canada and the locations to where they are from.
