If you are an experienced speaker, a member of The Ephemera Society of America, and enjoy giving talks on your favorite ephemera topics, the Society's new Speakers Bureau will introduce you to event planners looking for interesting speakers on interesting subjects.
Your speaker listing will provide information about your presentation themes, biography, speaking experience, and your email contact address. You will make all arrangements directly with the event planner.
