Founder and Managing Director
Nick Johnston is the Managing Director and Founder of Event Speakers Australia, one of Australia’s leading speaker bureaus, connecting organisations over the last 25 years with the very best speakers for conferences, corporate events, leadership programs, awards nights, team sessions and special events.
With extensive experience working within the events and speaking industry, Nick understands that finding the right speaker is about far more than simply selecting a well-known name. It is about understanding the event, the audience, the desired outcomes, the organisation’s culture and the message that needs to resonate with attendees.
Nick works closely with event organisers to identify speakers who are genuinely suited to their specific requirements. Whether an organisation is looking for a high-profile keynote speaker, an inspirational story, a leadership expert, sporting personality, business entrepreneur, MC, facilitator or specialist subject-matter expert, Nick brings an extensive knowledge of Australia’s professional speaking landscape to every brief.
A key strength of Nick’s approach is his ability to listen to what a client is trying to achieve and then translate that brief into practical speaker recommendations. He understands the importance of budget, audience demographics, event format, location, timing and the overall experience an organisation wants its delegates to have.
Through Event Speakers Australia, Nick has developed relationships with a diverse range of leading Australian and international speakers, personalities, athletes, business leaders, entertainers and experts. This enables clients to access speakers across a broad range of topics and styles, from leadership and business to resilience, motivation, wellbeing, innovation, sport, performance and navigating change.
Nick is also committed to making the speaker-booking process straightforward and efficient. From the initial enquiry and speaker selection through to availability, fee negotiation, contracting and event-day requirements, he and his team provide professional support throughout the process.
For Nick, successful speaker bookings are ultimately about creating memorable experiences and delivering genuine value for the client and their audience. His focus is on taking the uncertainty out of finding the right speaker and helping event organisers create events that inform, inspire, challenge and engage their audiences.
Through Event Speakers Australia, Nick’s philosophy is simple: “the right speaker will transform an event”.
