Common questions

Explore our dedicated FAQ section to find quick answers to common inquiries—whether you’re looking for guidance on speaker selection, event logistics, or pricing options. Save time and gain clarity as you discover how Conference Speakers can help bring inspiration and value to your next event.

Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.

Virtual speaking appearances can indeed offer cost savings compared to in-person events. Virtual speaking rates are often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates due to factors such as reduced travel expenses and logistics. This makes virtual events a cost-effective alternative for organizations looking to book speakers within a budget.

Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.

In addition to keynote speeches, speakers may offer other services such as workshops, Q&A sessions, panel discussions, or book signings. The cost for these additional activities can vary depending on the speaker’s availability, expertise, and the complexity of the event program. It’s advisable to discuss specific requirements and pricing with the speaker or their representative.

Some speakers may offer discounts or special rates for non-profit organizations or educational institutions as part of their commitment to supporting charitable causes or educational initiatives. It’s worth inquiring about discount options when negotiating with speakers or their representatives.

The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.

Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.

Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.

You can use Speakers Inc’s advanced search feature to filter speakers based on your event budget and desired category. The fee slider allows you to see which speakers fall within your budget range, making it easier to find the perfect speaker for your event. Alternatively, you can reach out to us via our contact form to be paired with an agent who can assist you in finding a speaker that meets your budget and event requirements.
