If a Professional Speaker has an exclusive agreement with one Speakers Bureau, is it required that the Event Planner book that Professional Speaker only through that Speakers Bureau?
No, not in most cases. Almost all Professional Speakers with an exclusive agreement are available through the WSBA Speakers Bureaus because of the cooperation between Speakers Bureaus that is called “Co-Brokering”. That means if the Event Planner wants to book a Professional Speaker through a Speakers Bureau that has an exclusive agreement with another Speakers Bureau, the first Speakers Bureau usually can “Co-Broker” with the other Speakers Bureau to hire that Professional Speaker.
