Speakers Bureau
Information for Speakers
The UNLV Speakers Bureau is a public service program that provides access to a broad range of highly specialized knowledge available only at a nationally-ranked research university. We place speakers primarily for civic groups; community organizations; elementary, middle, and high schools; professional associations; and other nonprofit groups. This program is coordinated by the Office of Community Relations.
How does it work?
To request a speaker, members of the public will search the online Speakers
Bureau Directory and contact a speaker to invite him/her to their
organization's event.
The university does not charge for this service. It is offered as part of our strategic plan to engage the community at-large.
What are the benefits as a speaker and to the university?
For you, the speaker, making a presentation in the community benefits
you by:
- Highlighting your knowledge and expertise to elevate yourself as an expert in the community
- Offering an opportunity to develop relationships with attendees with a vested interest in what you do
- Informing attendees about current research or need for research in your area
For the university, your presentation benefits all of us on campus by:
- Promoting your department and the university to the tax payers who fund the university
- Promoting the university's vision to be a "nationally-recognized, public-research university"
- Elevating the university in a way that encourages the community to consider UNLV for their children, themselves, and their employees
How does the UNLV Speakers Bureau differ from the UNLV Experts Bureau?

The UNLV Experts Bureau manages subject-matter experts for news interviews.
