WME Speakers will be folded into the newly acquired company, which will operate as an independent affiliate.
As it pivots from its scuttled plan for an initial public offering, Endeavor Group Holdings is restructuring its speakers division and acquiring a venerable speakers agency.
HWA's leadership, president Don Walker and managing director Ellen Kazis-Walker, will lead the combined division. Terms of the deal weren't disclosed. Endeavor also didn't specify whether there will be staff reductions as the two speakers divisions merge. The new expansion into the event speaker business arrives weeks after Endeavor — which also owns IMG, Endeavor Content studio, MMA company UFC and PBR , among other varied assets — dropped its plans to go public formally on Oct. 16.
"In joining forces with WME, we're able to create more opportunities for our speakers across the broad gamut of the marketplace of ideas, including books, podcasts and television," read a joint statement from Walker and Kazis-Walker. "We will now offer event planners a broader array of speakers across television, sports, film, music and media."
