At JLA, our purpose is to find & platform the greatest talent in keynote speaking, corporate events & events entertainment for our clients.

We love helping generate the conversations that move organisations forward, to leave audiences feeling empowered & inspired to spark change.

For 34 years, we’ve connected the brightest minds with the organisations & change-makers of the day. We’ve placed the very best speakers, presenters and performers at over 45,000 events around the world, and have sought to build upon a reputation for uncovering new talent, just as much as securing headline names.

We draw on established talent relationships and a constant flow of client feedback, to offer impartial advice and exceptional industry expertise. We’ve got more than 11,000 speakers on our books, and as the biggest UK Speaker Bureau, we offer unparalleled buying power to deliver only the best names on the speaker circuit.

With JLA, you’ll receive a personalised experience from start to finish. For each individual booking, we take the time to determine the most qualified and appropriate person to captivate your audience & make an impact. From the moment you reach out to us, right through to the post-event debrief, your JLA Account Manager will be your sounding board, your support and your all-in-one logistics team, always on hand to help.

We genuinely enjoy what we do, because we care about the impact talent has as much as our clients do. At the heart of what JLA does, JLA values the profound, lasting effect that talent can have on an event, and above all, the relationships we build with our clients.

So; let’s talk about your next event.
