Finding a speaker is easy. Finding the right speaker, and making sure everything goes right once you've picked one, is where experience matters.
Since 1985, Agricultural Speakers Network has helped more than 800 agricultural organizations book speakers for more than 9,000 events. ASN isn't just a directory of names. It's an event partner that manages the process from the first conversation through the final applause, so you can focus on your attendees instead of your speaker.
And working with ASN costs you nothing.
ASN has worked with hundreds of organizations and incorporations including Cargill, John Deere, Bayer Crop Science, BASF, Monsanto, Land O'Lakes, CHS, Nutrien Ag Solutions, GROWMARK, AGCO, Purdue University, WinField Solutions, Mosaic, American Bankers Association, American Soybean Association, National Agri-Marketing Association, AgWest Farm Credit, Farm Credit East, Farm Credit Mid-America, and many more.
How We Help You
Some clients come to ASN with a speaker already in mind and need help with logistics. Others know only that they need someone great and trust ASN to find that person. Either way, the process flexes to meet you where you are.
Understanding Your Event
Every recommendation starts with your goals: your audience, your theme, your budget, and the outcome you're hoping for. The right speaker for a commodity growers meeting is rarely the right speaker for an agribusiness sales kickoff, so ASN asks the questions that lead to the right match.
Curating the Right Options
ASN maintains relationships with more than 250 vetted agricultural and agribusiness speakers and stays current on who's actually delivering for audiences like yours. Rather than a long list of profiles, you get a short list of options that fit, along with the context and insight to choose confidently.
Handling the Details
Once a speaker is selected, ASN manages the contract, coordinates travel, monitors the itinerary, and builds a budget and agreement that protect you from surprises. Preparation calls between your organization and the speaker help tailor the presentation to your audience rather than deliver a generic keynote.
Staying Available
Missed flights, weather delays, last-minute changes: when something goes wrong, ASN is available around the clock to handle it, so you don't have to.
Following Through
The relationship doesn't end when the applause does. ASN gathers feedback, reviews what worked, and helps plan the next event.
What Clients Value Most
Clients say what matters most isn't just finding a name. It's having a partner who:
- Understands agriculture
- Knows which speakers actually deliver
- Helps avoid expensive mistakes
- Saves dozens of hours of research
- Handles the details
- Answers the phone
- Has a backup plan
- Stays involved until the event is over
Why Planners Keep Coming Back
Many ASN client relationships span 10, 20, even 25 years. That's not an accident. A bureau that specializes in agriculture, and understands your industry and your audiences, turns booking a speaker from a source of stress into a solved problem.
"Thanks for handling all the logistics and onsite coordination. It made things so easy on me yesterday!"
