Who is  the GSF:

The Global Speakers Federation (GSF) is a worldwide network of professional speaking associations. Think of it as our “global home base” – connecting associations, sharing best practices, and creating meaningful collaboration across borders. It is also a space where member stories and achievements can be seen and celebrated internationally, while each association keeps its own local identity and voice.

What this means for our members:

Being connected to GSF means our members get to be part of something bigger – while still staying proudly local.

Through GSF, members can enjoy:

  • More global visibility for member wins and association highlights
  • Fresh ideas and learning from speaker communities worldwide
  • Stronger credibility through international connection
  • More chances to collaborate and build partnerships (where available)
  • A real sense of “we are in this together” globally
