Frequently asked questions

How much does a speaker for a corporate conference cost?

Speaker fees vary enormously: emerging local speakers cost far less than established professionals, senior executives of large companies or internationally known names, whose fees can be many times higher. Ask several speakers or their agencies for quotes, and always budget for travel and accommodation on top.

How do you negotiate a speaker's fee for an event?

Offer extra visibility (recording and distribution, social media tagging, a place in your communication plan), access to quality networking, reference letters for future events and, for emerging speakers, the exposure opportunity itself.

How do you find quality speakers for a conference on a tight budget?

Look for managers within your company or industry, academics and university experts, emerging thought leaders on LinkedIn, industry alumni with relevant experience, or non-professional speakers with authentic, compelling stories.
