About the ANSI Speakers Bureau
|
|
The ANSI Speakers Bureau provides meeting planners with access to top
executives in the standards and conformity assessment industry.
|
When a speaker fails to connect with an audience, the speech fails to support
the objectives of the meeting. But meeting planners often lack time and
resources to make the best match. ANSI’s communications, public relations, and
education and training staff team work together to function as your meetings
management partner. We help match the best speaker for your event and we help
the speakers customize their presentations to support the goals of your
meeting.
Enhance an upcoming conference or event by providing direct access to the finest
speakers with extraordinary and invaluable insights about activities critical
to today’s business practices, regulatory issues and quality of life
initiatives (homeland security, safety and health, the environment, and more).
Key leaders and staff of the global standards community are available to
provide insights, share expertise, and educate both private- and public-sector
interests through keynote addresses, lectures and panel discussions.
Many of ANSI’s top-level executive staff and volunteer leaders participate in
