On this page you’ll find a cross section of female speakers who all relish the after dinner slot. One has been the face of foreign news reporting, another leads the way in space science. They have run newspapers, TV networks, football clubs and MI5. They’ve won Olympic medals, raced rally cars and created characters that viewers will never forget. But they have one thing in common – they’re all terrific storytellers.

Whether you are looking to entertain clients or colleagues, fellow members or industry peers, a thoughtfully chosen female after dinner speaker will help transform it from just another gathering to one that lingers in the memory.

JLA work with FTSE-100 corporations, major brands, trade associations, publishers and production companies. Our role is to help you find the right person to match your objectives and spark the audience’s imagination. If that means an end to an all-male procession of speakers, so much the better!
