VoicesLet's Connect

When your reputation is on the line, you don’t hand the mic to just anyone.

We know you want to be confident in the speakers you present at your events.

You may not have enough time or bandwidth to do a thorough search.

We believe you ought to be able to find a communicator that doesn’t merely entertain, but inspires each attendee and transforms the organization as a whole.

Events are moments of transformation. Your audience should realize something new and then respond with action every time.

We don't just help you arrange a great speaker - we join your vision to create an event that won’t be forgotten.

"We have worked closely with Voices To Connect on four major events that called for high energy, high caliber speakers that fit a very specific profile; one event was an inaugural launch with high stakes!  The process of listening, advising and matching us to the best talent for the job was where Jessica and team won the work – they ensured our success at the event with personal touches and support.  We’ve built a standing relationship with Voices To Connect and know who to call!"
