I rely solely on SMG Speakers Bureau for my campus programming and speaker needs. The professionalism, attention to detail and follow-up care has made Pam and her staff feel more like family than business partners. No question is too small or insignificant and they have made planning events so much easier. I would recommend SMG to any of my friends and colleagues knowing they will receive top-notch service from the staff.
