Pande Lecture Management

PANDE LECTURE MANAGEMENT (PLM) is a forward-thinking speakers’ bureau affiliated with Ayesha Pande Literary. We partner with universities, libraries, nonprofits, and other organizations to create events that spark conversation, deepen understanding, and inspire change. The speakers we amplify are award-winning authors, thought leaders, and cultural catalysts whose work explores identity, power, and possibility. They speak to the urgent challenges facing our communities and bring insight, compassion, and imagination to questions of equity, belonging, and how we live together in a pluralistic society. We’re a small, approachable team with roots in publishing, public programming, and library science—fields built on curiosity, access, and dialogue. That background informs our holistic approach: We don’t just book speakers; we help event hosts design meaningful experiences. Our close ties to the publishing world allow us to specialize in connecting audiences with powerful, discussable books, especially new and forthcoming titles that engage with the most pressing questions of our time. Whether you’re ready to extend an invitation or you’re simply exploring possibilities, we invite you to sign up for our Event Planner’s Digest or follow us on social media for speaker updates, programming ideas, and behind-the-scenes insight from a team that’s passionate about the power of public conversation. PLM is a member of the International Association of Speakers Bureaus.
