How are speaking fees determined?

Speaking fees are usually a function of how well-known the speaker is, the amount of travel required, and the length of the presentation. Famous people, best-selling authors, and other high profile speakers command higher fees. These normally range from $5,000 to more than $100,000. Keynote presentations or fireside chats are typically 30-60 minutes in length and maybe accompanied by audience Q&As. Virtual and local events generally command lower fees than assignments requiring the speaker to travel and attend in person.

Do you coordinate logistics?

Yes, under our “Manage” service, we can reduce the burden on all parties by handling various travel and logistics arrangements.

Can’t I just contact a speaker directly?

In some cases you can, in others not. Most speakers prefer to work through our bureau to ensure privacy, efficiency, and appropriate alignment with inquiries.

Can I record the presentation?

Many speakers allow video taping of their speech at no additional charge. Some do not wish to be taped or will charge an extra fee. It is important to make your requests known in advance, before the contract is signed, to ensure that any special requirements are agreed to in advance and made part of the contract.

What is the best time to secure a keynote speaker?
