META SPEAKERS
THE THING IS, IT'S NOT ABOUT US
ABOUT
Meta Speakers isn’t your average speaker management agency. Founded by Meta Nelson in January 2021, we've started to make a name for ourselves in the industry, officially becoming members of IASB in 2022. Our goal is to represent speakers who are not only great at what they do but also bring value and authenticity to the stage.
At Meta Speakers, we pride ourselves on being problem solvers, solution saviors, and competent communicators. We take on the task of planning, running, and monitoring events, ensuring the best possible experience for our speakers and attendees from start to finish. Our mission is to bring authenticity to all event spaces - corporate or beyond.
We offer a safe place for talent to explore their vision and purpose. Our team of experts works to eliminate anxieties by building specific plans to manage that vision, taking our job(s) very seriously. Our passion lies in seeing our people succeed, and we are committed to building a roster of exceptional speakers who are even better people. Join us on this journey of elevating the speaking industry, one authentic message at a time.
"...I can absolutely see why she had such an affinity for working with you and your team. Keep doing what you're doing - you have built a true gem of an agency."

MEET OUR TEAM
META NELSON | Founder + Agent
Don’t let her humble beginnings fool you—Meta didn’t set out to be an entrepreneur. But after learning from some of the best in the speaking industry, she took a leap in 2021 and launched Meta Speakers. What started as a bold move quickly became a calling, transforming her into a leader on a mission to amplify voices that truly matter. She’s all about representing speakers whose impact is matched only by their integrity—great on stage, even better as humans. For Meta, this isn’t just a business, it’s purpose: leaving the world a little better, one powerful message at a time. True to her Enneagram 1 roots, Meta thrives on discipline but balances it with a “work hard, play hard” mindset. Outside the office, you’ll probably catch her at CrossFit (yeah, she’s one of those people), diving into a good book with her club, or soaking up downtime with her husband and their dogs, Hashbrown and Sweeta Gordita. Every year, she carves out time for a road trip through Idaho, Montana, and the wild west. It's not just a vacation, but her signature “mindset refresh.” Serious when she needs to be, quick with a dry wit when she doesn’t, Meta’s favorite people to work with are ones who can appreciate both.
KATELYN SHARLOW | Marketing Director
Katelyn is a proud Michigander-turned-Georgian who’s been part of our Meta Speakers crew since 2021. She’s the brains and creativity behind our marketing magic, weaving her signature style into everything from our website and socials to the way our brand shows up in the world. But let’s be real—it’s not just about the aesthetics (though she does make us look damn good). Katelyn’s dedication and skillset have built the backbone of our marketing infrastructure, helping both us and our speakers level up big time. Off the clock, Katelyn is in full-on mom mode with two tiny littles who keep her on her toes, wife to her high school sweetheart, and dog mom to Murph. Life is a whirlwind of snack cups, story time, and baby giggles. Her secret superpower window is nap time (when all the magic around here actually happens). She’s a true Pisces, an Enneagram 2, a sour candy aficionado, and never far from her emotional support water bottle (hydration is key, people). Her creativity and knack for making the impossible possible make her an invaluable part of the team.

LEAH DOYLE | Logistics Coordinator
A California girl now living her best Florida life, Leah is a busy partner and mom of three. She joined us at Meta Speakers in 2025, bringing nearly 20 years of industry experience and a deep understanding of what it takes to keep events running smoothly and clients feeling fully supported. As our go-to Details Director, Leah works closely with both speakers and event organizers to make sure nothing slips through the cracks—from venue specifics and tech requirements to travel logistics and everything in between. With a background in relationship management, logistics, and digital marketing, she’s known for being equal parts calm problem-solver and creative collaborator. Curious what Leah’s up to when she’s not at her laptop or chauffeuring her kids around? She’s probably soaking up the sun at the beach, scouting out a new local coffee shop, getting lost in a good book (find her on StoryGraph 👀), and she takes her one-woman car concerts very seriously.
