How are speaking fees determined?
Speaking fees are usually a function of how well known the speaker is, the amount of travel required to complete his or her presentation, and the length of the presentation.
Keynote presentations are normally priced less than half-day or full-day presentations. And local presentations are frequently less expensive that assignments requiring the speaker to travel.
Do I pay more for using a speakers bureau?
In most instances, speakers pay speakers bureaus a commission on their fee. This means you can enjoy free consulting service, independent recommendations, a high level of event coordination, plus many additional services at no additional cost to you.
Once I choose a speaker from Inspiring Speakers, what can I expect?
Simply put, the best service in the industry. You will be assigned a Personal Event Coordinator to ensure that your event goes smoothly from start to finish.
After selecting your speaker, Inspiring Speakers will issue you a contract setting for the name of the speaker, the event location, the date of the presentation, audio visual requirements, and other important information.
Can I audio or video tape the presentation?
Many speakers do allow taping at no additional charge. Some do not wish to be taped or charge an extra fee. It is important to make your requests known in advance, prior to booking the speaker. Inspiring Speakers can then give you the correct information and include it in the contract.
Will the speaker attend special VIP events?
Many speakers will agree to attend a special event at no additional charge. Some will not. It is important to make your requests known in advance and include this in the contract.
What if, in the event of an unforeseen occurrence, an act of God, or some other personal situation, the speaker is unable to attend my event?
Every time a speaker or entertainer is booked for your event, a contract is sent to the speaker and signed by him or her as a written guarantee that he or she will appear for your event. If, for some reason, it is impossible for the speaker to attend your event, our agents here at Inspiring Speakers will do their best to find a mutually acceptable replacement that is, in the end, approved by you.
