I just wrapped up an inspiring week at the International Association of Speaker Bureaus Annual Convention. Hard to believe, but yes, even speaker bureaus have their own association. It’s one of the few places where you can spend three full days immersed in ideas, innovation, and nonstop inspiration from some of the most dynamic speakers in the industry.
With so much talent packed into one event, it would be impossible to capture it all in a single newsletter. Instead, I’m sharing a few presenters who left a lasting impression.
Featured Favorites from the Convention
Henna is a workplace performance expert known for helping people get out of their own way and uncover their highest potential. A two-time TEDx speaker and bestselling author, she blends humor with science-backed tools that help individuals and teams embrace discomfort, take smarter risks, and strengthen their communication. Her message meets today’s workplace challenges with clarity, energy, and a refreshing dose of optimism.
Cam brings a level of charisma and connection that fills a room the moment he steps on stage. A former captain of the USA National Boxing Team and a multi-time national champion, he uses his own journey to teach audiences about confidence, consistency, emotional resilience, and owning your story. Cam’s style is uplifting, engaging, and surprisingly funny, making even the toughest topics easy to absorb and put into practice.
Jon is a fan favorite for good reason. Known originally for his career in the NFL, he became widely recognized after inspiring audiences with his extraordinary talent as a magician and storyteller. His message centers on resilience, perspective, and choosing joy even in the middle of life’s toughest challenges. Jon’s ability to blend magic with deeply meaningful life lessons creates an experience that is both unforgettable and unexpectedly moving.
Looking Ahead
If any of these speakers caught your attention, I’d love to share more details or explore whether they might be a great fit for a future meeting or event. They were just a few of the many voices that made this year’s IASB Convention so memorable.
It’s always inspiring to be reminded that the right story delivered at the right time can spark real change.
