Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?

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.

Is it less expensive to hire a speaker for a virtual event than for an in-person event?

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.

What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?

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.

Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?

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 and other costs

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.

Deposits and securing a booking

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.

Additional tips and takeaways

Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates. There is typically no difference in fee for a 15-minute speech versus a 60-minute speech. Some motivational speakers are open to discounting their fee if hired for more than one event by the same organization. When browsing speakers, consider their location to keep travel costs down. Personal connections to your organization or event location can increase your chances of securing a renowned speaker. Be upfront about your needs and expectations to ensure a successful partnership. Speaker bureaus like Speakers Inc help guide you through the booking process to negotiate the best deal with favorable terms. Ready to find the perfect speaker for your event?

From a very young age, Grant Fowlds lived and played in the African bush, enjoying the natural wonders provided by nature. His passion for nature in later life has forged a career in preserving wildlife, teaching our youth in the abundant wealth of nature and conserving a vanishing way of Life.

For over a decade he has been involved in a private park restoration in Southern Africa and recently started consulting in West Africa. His knowledge and passion has been conveyed to thousands of youth in schools through community conservation awareness. This work created a much needed fund raising drive for an NGO with the aid of the corporate social investment portfolios which spells out the slogan “Stop Wildlife Crime”.

Grant Fowlds does not need much presentation. He is one of the leading conservationists, speakers and consultants in Southern Africa, advocating with unlimited passion his love for the wild. At CG we welcome Grant very much as an engaged individual under whose wisdom we will be able to engage in exciting projects in the foreseeable future.
