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?

Read Full Bio

Uveka Rangappa is a renowned South African journalist, news anchor, TV presenter and philanthropist.

She started her broadcasting career in 1996 with the SABC at Lotus FM. After 5 years, she then moved to East Coast Radio, before leaving Durban entirely to seek greener pastures in Johannesburg.

In 2002 she joined Primedia Broadcasting, where she worked at 702 and 947.

Establishing herself in television, as a force to be reckoned with, she presented ‘Rights and Recourse’ on SABC 3, and later joined the then eNews Channel (now eNCA) as a weekday News Anchor.

While still on 702 and 947, Uveka went on to host the parenting show ‘Great Expectations’ on eTV from 2011 to 2016. During that time, she returned to eNCA as a prime time anchor and host of ‘Food Matters’ as well as ‘Health Matters’. She also held the title of programming and content manager at SRN Media.

Among the highlights of her 25-year career, Uveka includes having covered post-war Iraq and reporting from in and around Baghdad. Other highlights have been covering national elections, interviewing
several local and international celebrities like Stevie Wonder, local and international politicians including former Nigerian President, Olusegun Obasanjo and Ambassadors and High Commissioners, but her favourite interviews have been with ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Apart from being an established television and radio anchor, Uveka Rangappa is an active philanthropist and passionately supports the Rise Against Hunger charity organisation which distributes food to ECD centres and University students across South Africa.

Uveka believes journalism is “not about ME…it’s about who I can help!”
