I did not. The About page for World Speech Day says it was started by Simon Gibson in 2015 and that:
World Speech Day started with a simple idea: speeches change the world; socially, politically, in the arts, business and religion. They play a profound role in holding our societies together and shaping change. Then why not create a day to celebrate speeches and speechmaking through live public speaking events around the world, reaching out to #unexpectedvouces everywhere?
From my Google Alert on public speaking I found an article about it by Shivangani Singh at TheQuintWorld on March 14, 2024 titled World Speech Day 2024: Date, History, Significance & Ways to Participate. You can find out about other holidays in a reference book at your friendly local public library. See this blog post on June 16, 2017 titled What happened in history on June 16th?
My cartoon was assembled from images of a globe and a speaker silhouette from Openclipart.
