Missouri Division of Tourism Speakers Bureau

The Missouri Division of Tourism (MDT) receives numerous requests to supply speakers for groups and events on a variety of tourism topics. Unfortunately, our staff size allows us to accommodate only a limited number of these requests.

In a case where no staff member is available to speak, MDT can provide a videotape or DVD entitled “Exploring Missouri.” This eight-minute presentation showcases some of the beauty and excitement of our state.

To request a speaker, or a copy of "Exploring Missouri," please contact Lori Simms, MDT’s Communications Administrator, at 573-751-3208, or email Lori.Simms@ded.mo.gov. Please provide some details including location, date and time of engagement, size of group, requested topic and whether audio and visual equipment is available.
