About NSAA
The speaking industry in Australia
Until recently the role of professional speaker in Australia
hardly existed. Companies and organisations seeking people to
address conferences and meetings relied largely on finding people
with something to say who could be cajoled to say it. Regrettably
this did not necessarily mean that the speaker had the ability
to say it!
The increasing pace of change, the heightened sophistication of
audiences and the focus on achieving results led to the demand for
a better answer and a new role was created that of professional
speaker. A role to be filled by someone who could present
information of interest and value in an interesting and valuable way.
And now, in Australia every day, at literally hundreds of events
ranging from small team sales meetings and service group dinners to
huge corporate conventions and multi national conferences, professional
speakers go about their business of presenting ideas, information,
views and values to entertain, enthralls, educate and energize both
the audience and the organizers.
