Fees, Operations and Logistics

You can request a speaker's rate card via our contact form. This rate card will specify the prices for different types of engagement and types of organisation.

What does the speaker fee cover?

The fees outlined on a speaker’s rate card cover the cost for that specific event. This price does not include travel expenses or other variable costs. These costs will be billed separately after the event has taken place.

How are travel arrangements made?

If the event takes place in another city than the speaker’s home city, the host of the event is responsible for booking local hotel accommodation if needed, as well as arranging transportation to and from the location of the event.

Can you put me in touch with a speaker directly?
