Why Hummingbird Speaks?
Hummingbird Humanity works to research and vet speakers to create a seamless process of providing the right speaker for your topic at a price point that works for your organization.
In addition to streamlining your speaker search process, a member of the Hummingbird team will assist with connecting you with your speaker for an introductory kick-off call to ensure you are given the space to share your speaking engagement needs directly with the speaker.
We will also provide a digital engagement coordinator to manage the technical aspect of your speaking engagement for needs such as presentation screen sharing, chat engagement, & providing a safe space for folks to engage anonymously.
