Speakers Bureau unveils innovative, interactive web community

International Speakers Bureau has developed an exciting new way to search for presenters online. "Speakerville," a web-based virtual community, allows searchers to interact with the town's environment, lending a new level of fun to the task of finding and booking talented speakers and presenters.

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) June 25, 2004 -- In a continuation of industry firsts, International Speakers Bureau, Inc. has launched a new resource for meeting and event planners called Speakerville".    Speakerville is an online interactive community of top-notch speakers and entertainers which creates an experience that makes searching for speakers fun and nostalgic. It can be accessed at www.speakerville.net

The virtual township is divided into distinct districts each representing specific areas of expertise. A block of skyscrapers, for example, represents the Speakerville Wallstreet financial district filled with renowned economists and futurists, while celebrities and other famous faces can be found gracing the stage of the Speakerville Theater. International Speakers Bureau, Inc. also purposely coordinated the launch of Speakerville with the launch of www.internationalspeakers.com v. 3.0 so that the user experience was further heightened by improved search functionality, an expanded talent offering and a list of new meeting planning related services.

Michelle Lemmons, President of International Speakers Bureau, Inc., said the idea was meant to devise a fun and exciting way to search for presenters. What makes this resource so special is the unique way in which we present information to our clients. Speakerville adds flair to the job of finding a speaker or entertainer for an event."

Like everything else in the world today, planners in the speaking and entertainment industry have an immediate need for information," said Lemmons. Speakerville fulfills that need, but at the same time you can have a high touch experience in a high tech world. Its like driving through town with the windows down and waving to all your friends in the speaking and entertainment industry."

ISB is no stranger to the web, offering one of the first online speaker selections with its original website in 1995. The organization now has access to over 15,000 experts, best-selling authors, politicians and celebrity entertainers, with offices throughout North America.
