Do speakers charge a flat fee or hourly?

It depends. Some charge a flat rate, others by the hour. Fees vary based on the format, scope, and speaker profile. We’ll help you navigate what works best.

Is virtual more cost-effective than in-person?

Yes. Virtual bookings are typically 15–50% more affordable, thanks to reduced travel and logistics—ideal for budget-conscious planning and global parameters.

Does the size of the event affect speaker fees?

Yes. Bigger audiences and wider exposure often mean higher fees. Smaller or niche events may allow for more flexibility in pricing.

How long is a keynote, and what’s included?

Keynotes usually run 30–90 minutes. Expect a blend of energy, insight, and tailored content aligned to your event goals. Our keynotes seem to be on average 60 – 90 mins speaker dependent.

Can speakers do more than just keynotes?

Absolutely. Many also offer workshops, panels, Q&As, and book signings. We can help structure the experience to suit your program.

Are travel costs included in the speaker fee?

Not usually. Travel, accommodation, and meals are negotiated separately, based on distance and event duration.

What’s required to secure a booking?

Most speakers require a non-refundable deposit to confirm the booking, with the balance due closer to the event. We’ll clarify terms upfront.

What can I afford with my budget?

Share your budget, audience, and goals—we’ll suggest speakers who deliver value and align with your vision.
