Banquet Speakers
Direct Sportslink has been securing banquet speakers for over 25 years for all types of banquets including sports award banquets, and fundraising banquets. Many times the banquets are large gatherings so a recognizable name and speaker is ideal to draw a big crowd. You can view our work with Coach Urban Meyer, Tim Tebow, Dalvin Cook, Emmitt Smith and many more banquet speakers on our website.
