How much does a speaker cost?

Most sit between £3,000 and £20,000. Household names and international travel push it higher. Use the budget filter to see who fits before you enquire, and tell us your ceiling rather than asking for the most expensive option.

How far in advance should we book?

Three to six months for a named speaker at a flagship event. Popular dates in autumn and January go earliest. We regularly place speakers inside three weeks, so it is always worth asking.

Can speakers tailor their talk to our organisation?

Yes, and the good ones insist on it. Expect a briefing call beforehand where they will ask about your strategy, the mood in the room and what has already been said to this audience.

Do speakers deliver virtually as well as in person?

Almost all do. Virtual and hybrid sessions typically cost less and work well for shorter, more interactive formats. We will tell you honestly when a talk needs a room to land.

What if we are not sure who we want?

That is the normal starting point. Send us the brief and we will suggest three or four very different directions, including options you would not have found by searching.
