About Speakship
Speakship is a speaker bureau and knowledge platform. We work with Fortune 500 companies, summits, and event organizers to connect them with thought leaders, authors, entrepreneurs, and icons. People we've represented include Michael Phelps, Gurcharan Das, Daniel Pink, Vikrant Massey and more.
