History

International Speakers Bureau was founded in 1992 by Michelle Lemmons-Poscente. Lemmons-Poscente started the business in a spare bedroom in her parent’s home eventually landing her first booking of the late Charles Kuralt a few months later.

In 1993, Michelle Lemmons-Poscente moved her offices to Dallas and began to expand the business. The company grew quickly in large part due to Lemmons-Poscente's early adoption of the internet. In 1997, the company was recognized as one of the Top Female Run Businesses in Texas and also partnered with Yahoo! to create Mentorium. Mentorium was an early attempt at interactive online learning.

In 2000, the company won the Sprint [http://youtube.com/watch?v=X82seDtjlnM #1 Small Business in America] award and was recognized by Bank One as one of the Top Female Owned Businesses in the United States. The company continued its growth and moved to historic Elm Place in 2007.
