About ASB
Our aim is to help clients all around the world, find the perfect academic keynote or conference speaker for their next public or private sector event, whether online or in person.
Who we are
The Academic Speakers Bureau is the UK’s first speakers' bureau which has an exclusive focus on public speakers with distinguished academic careers.
Academic speakers are equipped with specialist knowledge, skills, and experience in a wide range of fields. Our aim is to help clients all around the world find the perfect academic keynote speakers for their next private or public sector event, whether it's a conference, panel discussion, fireside chat or boardroom advisory session.
Developed by The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the world's leading social sciences institution, we recognise that academics not only contribute to global conversations but also actively shape them. Working with both public and private sector clients, we are dedicated to facilitating the exchange of ideas and knowledge. The Academic Speakers Bureau is our effort to build further on both these principles and connect clients from diverse sectors with academics from institutions all around the world.
