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?

With their mischievous rock sound, Lonehill Estate shows are riddled with humorous anecdotes and eye-twitchingly good music. The band has achieved much in recent years.

Lonehill Estate (Nathan Ro, David Waugh, Sunshine D and Mark van den Berg) is one of the top live performing bands in South Africa.

With their mischievous rock sound, their shows are riddled with humorous anecdotes and eye-twitchingly good music. The band has achieved much in recent years.

The band burst onto radio in 2005 with hit singles “Girl On A Roof” and “Skyward” dominating the airwaves.

In 2006 the band was listed in Cosmo’s “Bands to watch” list.
In 2007 the band represented South Africa in London at the Global Battle of the Bands where their drummer at the time (Travis Marc) took home the award for best drummer.
In 2008 Lonehill Estate released their second studio album “Hong Kong Dollar” which featured the hit “Memories.”
(The song was originally written for a movie entitled “My Facebook Reunion” which unfortunately was never made.

The band did however get to perform alongside Muse, Korn, Good Charlotte and 30 Seconds to Mars at the 2008 My Coke Fest that same year.)

In 2009 Lonehill Estate’s ballad “Forty” was used in the comedy “Finding Lenny” starring Barry Hilton.
The band focused on funneling their influences into their new sound which birthed “Gangstar” and “Technoband”. Both these songs grabbed # 1 on SA’s 5fm’s local pop chart.
Other songs to grab attention and success in 2011: “Green Pocket” and “Single 3”.
Their electro-pop track, “DAANS!” (Along with their previous successful tracks) landed them acknowledgement internationally and in late 2011, the group signed a development deal with A & R Worldwide.
Their airplay includes the US, Germany and Japan. Follow Speakers Inc on Twitter
Their invitation to perform in LA and Switzerland exceeds – with these markets embracing the group full throttle!
