Ovations International

Ovations is Australia’s independent speaker bureau, helping event planners find and book speakers suited to their audiences, goals and budgets. The bureau represents keynote speakers, trainers, entertainers and masters of ceremonies for conferences and corporate events, and offers a searchable directory by topic, presenter type, fee range and location. Its broad range of subject areas includes leadership, business, innovation, technology, customer experience, sustainability, wellbeing, diversity, sport and entertainment.

Ovations also helps clients understand how professional speakers can add value and supports them in choosing the right person for an event. Beyond speaker bookings, the bureau shares industry news, speaker insights and information about visiting international presenters. It also hosts live showcase events where planners can experience speakers in person and build a shortlist for future engagements.

Ovations serves event organisers across Australia and has a presence in New Zealand through Ovations International. With a focus on matching the right talent to each occasion, the bureau connects organisations with presenters who can inform, inspire, facilitate or entertain their audiences
