Monitor Talent Overview

Monitor Talent, a national speakers bureau, represents thought leaders with provocative ideas and expertise about the future of business, science, and society. We provide corporations and event producers with access to notable authors, speakers, educators, researchers, and executives from around the world.

How We Are Different

Our approach differs from traditional agencies and speaker bureaus in several important ways. We start from a different vantage point.

INSPIRE
First, we believe in the importance of getting fresh outside thinking to organizations to address their most challenging problems. We offer access to some of the best minds in business, technology and public affairs.

CONNECT
Second, we take the time to match a client’s need with the right person, in the right setting to make the event or intervention a success. This consultative approach draws on our backgrounds as event producers, business advisors, and brand specialists.

CREATE
Third, we use our talent as a generative network for uncovering opportunities, discerning trends and emerging issues, and applying their expertise to organizations in new and creative ways. As a result, Monitor Talent is able to offer our clients a richer range of services and expertise than exists elsewhere today.

Services for Corporate Buyers and Event Producers

For corporate buyers and event producers, we provide access to the best thinking from both established and up-and-coming experts. Our network includes individuals from academia, business, policy, and science/technology, as well as Monitor Group companies.

Our consultative approach to working with corporate clients and event producers ensures that they secure the most topic-relevant and engaging presenters and advisors. We go well beyond placing individuals for traditional keynote speeches, whether it be for panelist roles, leading workshops, advising C-level executives, conducting consulting assigments, or serving on advisory boards.

Our team has more than 25 years of major event planning and implementation experience. We advise corporate buyers and event producers on all aspects of project execution including program content, speaker and venue selection, collateral development, and on-site master schedules.

Services for Talent Clients

While our primary function for our individual talent clients is to develop and fulfill commercial demand from corporations, associations, non-profits, and other buyers, we also address a wide range of individual needs, including advice on intellectual content, career development, and personal branding. To catalyze new relationships and ignite innovation, our talent clients participate in our hosted virtual and physical networks of leading thinkers and companies. Finally, we assist with research and administrative support.
