Happy New Year! Are You Ready for a Remarkable 2026?
As we step into 2026, I want to ask: Are you welcoming this New Year with hope and excitement, or with discouragement and fear?
After 58 consecutive years in the speaking industry, I’ve learned that how we face life and business is always a choice. At Remarkable! A Speakers Bureau we’re choosing to lead with what matters most: delivering exceptional value and personal service.
Celebrating 2025: A Year of Milestones
Looking back, we have so much to be thankful and grateful for at Remarkable!
- 16 years as a speakers bureau committed to excellence
- 58 consecutive years I’ve served in the speaking industry
- 62 consecutive years, my CFO and husband, Carmen Falcone, has served in the workplace
- 150 episodes of our “Simply” Remarkable Livestream and Podcast (now in Season 4!)
- Launch of our brand new website, built with client and talent feedback and designed around what event planners told us they wanted to see
- Expanded beyond keynotes to offer emcees, entertainers, executive coaches, corporate trainers, business consultants, and breakout speakers
- Worked with and for the most Remarkable Speakers and Entertainers in the industry
- Have the best team of support staff and advisors to help us Be Remarkable
Even with setbacks along the way, every challenge has taught us something valuable. We’re entering 2026 stronger, wiser, and more committed than ever to remaining “Ridiculously Easy to Do Business With!”
Our 2026 Vision

Our Word of the Year: AUTHENTIC
Inspired by Jon Gordon’s concept, our entire Remarkable Team chose “Authentic” as our guiding word for 2026. This word will give meaning, mission, passion, and purpose to everything we do.

What Makes Us Different
Here’s something critical that everyone should know: There’s a myth that speaker bureaus add expensive commission fees on top of speaker rates. That’s not how we work.
Our commission is paid by the speaker; the fee we propose is the same you’d pay contacting them directly. Our services are completely free to organizations and event planners.
As a former speaker myself, I always valued what bureaus did for me and gladly paid the commission. It was never the client’s burden, and at Remarkable!, it never will be.
2026 Speaking Trends We’re Tracking
- Clarity is King: Clear communication and transparent ROI drive event decisions
- The AI Question: Event planners want authentic human connection, not AI-generated content
- Transformational Experiences Win: Planners seek experiences that create lasting impact
- ROI Takes Center Stage: Speakers must articulate measurable value
Let’s Make 2026 Your Best Event Year Yet
Whether you’re planning events, choosing speakers or entertainers for your organization, or know someone who does, we’re here to make it happen seamlessly.
