What can we expect to pay for a top Speaker?
Speaking fees vary from Speaker to Speaker. Fees are based on the Speaker’s expertise and the demand for his or her availability and the services required.
Because each Speaker has a unique fee structure we suggest that you request a written quotation.
Other than the Speaker's fee are there other costs to consider?
Should the Speaker need to travel to get to your conference venue, the client is responsible for any travel costs (i.e. airfare, ground travel, car rental) and accommodation expenses.
Who books the Speakers' travel, car rental and accommodation?
This is usually arranged by the client as they have their preferred service providers for these logistical needs.
Can you provide us with some background information on the recommended Speakers and the topics they address?
Yes, the Bureau can provide you with Speaker background profiles that also include presentation topics.
Are references and client feedback on a Speaker's past presentations and work available to us?
Yes, we would love to share those references with you! We love to “brag” about our Speakers.
What is the length of a standard keynote presentation?
The length of a Speaker’s presentation is usually 60 minutes but it can vary from 45 minutes to one hour and fifteen minutes depending on the time available and the Speaker’s presentation content.
Can we talk with the Speaker's before our conference?
All of our Speakers appreciate the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of the client’s objectives and aims for their function. This is provided virtually.
Can the Speaker adapt their presentation to our special established objectives?
Yes, most Speakers have flexibility in their presentation content. This is also part of the benefit of a virtual briefing meeting with the client.
Can we record the Speaker's Presentation?
No audio or visual recordings of our Speakers’ presentations are permitted unless negotiated before the event.
