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.

Client Testimonial
Direct Sportslink really helped us out of a jam. Our speaker for an awards banquet cancelled at the last minute. Our theme for the banquet was basketball so not only were we in need of a replacement but the sports speaker needed to be in the professional basketball field. Direct Sportslink saved us - not only did they come through with a well-known basketball player, but they gave us several options. Our employees couldn't stop raving about Muggsy Bogues. Direct Sportslink made it easy to do business at the last minute. Their professionalism and willingness to help us during a pinch is invaluable. We won't hesitate to do business with them again.
