JLA connects organisations with exceptional talent. |
When you come to us with a brief, we respond with a curated shortlist of speakers we genuinely believe will deliver: on content, on audience fit, and on budget. JLA is not only an enormous repository of talent, but an exceptional recommendation engine, knowing who lands and who doesn’t. We are there to guide you through the choices to the big day and beyond.
We focus on our clients needs, taking time to understand your organisation, your events and your people. We work to make sure every suggested speaker adds something tangible to the event.
JLA is a careful and considerate ally in getting you the best speaker for your event. We are not a talent management agency. We don’t promote individual speakers or manage their careers. We are a gateway, connecting the right speakers with the right events and the right audiences, at the right moment.
We are an expert-led organisation, giving you end-to-end support that elevates your event: concept advice, talent options, smooth logistics, and a debrief designed to drive future success.
Every single client brief gets the JLA bespoke process to ensure maximum audience impact. Our team of experienced consultants are deeply embedded in our clients’ events, knowing how to shape a conversation, whether for the boardroom, internal events, client dinners, a sales launch, the industry conference, or a one-off celebration.

Stage 1
JLA are obsessed with helping our clients find the perfect speaker, presenter or performer. We take the time to understand everything that matters: your goals, your audience, your budget, your venue and the dynamics that will make or break the room.
Stage 2
Using our black-book and team’s unrivalled experience, we curate an unbiased shortlist tailored precisely to your brief – then work with you to identify the speaker who’ll make the greatest impact. With over 12,000 speakers to choose from, we offer unrivalled choice.
Stage 3
Here we secure the talent and finalise the booking details with precision and complete discretion; allowing you to move forward with full confidence and zero administrative burden.
Stage 4
We host a dedicated briefing call to align on priorities, share audience insight and ensure the speaker arrives fully prepared to deliver. The groundwork we lay here is where great events are made.
Stage 5
Total support on the day, including in-person as necessary. We’re with you every step of the way – and we specialise in last-minute flexibility or changes.
Stage 6
Once the event is done, our support continues. We’ll debrief with professional feedback on the speaker and audience reception. We use those insights to make the next event even better.
"Thanks to your ability to match presenter with audience (and the fantastic relationship you have with your speakers), the client was ecstatic."
"The service provided by JLA was great. It was easy to get in contact with our account manager, and information was delivered in a timely manner."

As we cover on our speaker bureau page, a speaker bureau advises which speakers, presenters or performers match the buyers’ objectives and budget. They do not normally represent the talent exclusively, so the advice offered is ostensibly impartial. Unlike theatrical and model agencies, the buyer is the client – not the talent.
While in some cases you may be able to contact a speaker directly, using a speaker bureau like JLA saves you time, gives you our buying power at scale, provides more speaker options, and ensures a seamless process.
We give you easy access to a wide range of talent and offer expert recommendations and insights tailored to your event’s goals and budget. We also manage all negotiations, contracts, briefing and logistics, minimising the risk of any issues. In the unlikely event the speaker cancels due to illness, we will also be there to arrange a suitable replacement with the minimum of disruption to your event.
Contact us today to find the speaker that makes your next event remembered.
