Speaking Out
They say the pen is mightier than the sword and these opinion makers are even more powerful in person. Booked Out represents some of Australia’s sharpest minds (and tongues) and can help you program a keynote, debate, panel or lecture on a range of issues that matter – ethics, climate change, sustainable living, media, identity, multiculturalism, sexuality and more.

Try before you buy
It’s important to know that the speaker you’re booking is going to make the right impression. To help you feel better informed before making a commitment, Booked Out has produced short clips that take you into a session and show you what it is that our speakers do. So far we have a selection of videos on primary and secondary school visits, with plenty more to come.

VCE English Talks
An in-school presentation from the author of your set text, a professional film lecturer or an expert on an issue or context could be just what your students need to feel confident about text analysis. Arrange an introductory session or a revision presentation for later in the year.
