Experts Bureau Agreement

The Learning Technology Center (LTC) Speakers Bureau connects educators with speakers to deliver professional learning activities on a wide variety of topics.

Speakers who choose to be a part of the LTC Speakers Bureau may have the opportunity to work with Regional Offices of Education, Intermediate Service Centers, Districts, Schools, or other organizations. By providing detailed information regarding qualifications, presentation topics, a fee range, and more, interested parties can filter potential speakers to find the qualified speaker that meets their needs. The LTC will not be involved in any part of the booking process.
