Everyone knows what the experience is like attending a live music concert. Whether it’s Beethoven or The Grateful Dead, the atmosphere is alive with electricity. There’s camaraderie amongst you and the stranger sitting next to you that is unique to being at a live event. You look at them and nod in recognition of what a great time you’re having. Now imagine that same concert coming to you via a webinar at your desk. Not quite the same, is it?
Sales meetings, kickoff meetings, conferences, and incentive travel programs have a long history of helping companies grow their business through increased sales and good will that come from making personal contact with employees, salespeople, and customers. Everybody knows that. Then why has there been such a big shift away from personal meetings to webinars?

Today, we’re celebrating a new partnership between @espeakers and @WashSpeakers. Check out their new directory at www.wsbdirectconnect.com
Washington Speakers Bureau, using directory technology from eSpeakers, operates WSBDirectConnect. WSBDirectConnect is a self-service website where event organizers can find world-class speakers at a range of price points below $10,000.
On Tuesday , April 21st we sent out an email to our customers (speakers, speakers bureaus, and event organizers) called “Top Ten Motivational Speakers”. It was the beginning of a regular series intended to further eSpeakers’ goal of connecting speakers and audiences.
Over the last few days we’ve received both positive and negative feedback about our Top Ten Motivational speakers list. We’re always open to feedback from our customers, and we appreciate the thoughts on eSpeakers producing a “Top Ten” list. Several speakers presented insightful reasons (that had not occurred to us) why a list like this has some negative consequences. We agreed with the reasoning and have decided to discontinue this Top Ten campaign.

At the NSA Winter Workshop in Las Vegas, The President of the National Speakers Association Shep Hyken and NSA Voices of Experience director Michael Hoffman interviewed Dave Reed of eSpeakers. eSpeakers recently announced an important relationship with Meeting Professionals International (MPI), and NSA leadership wanted to provide some clear information about what that relationship means for the NSA and its members.
