Booking a speaker is a stress-free experience with our expert team. Able to provide unique and exciting talent suited to your budget and brief, we can work with you every step of the way.
STEP 1: Browse our website to find the ideal speaker for your event. There are multiple categories on our website, so you can find a desired speaker more easily than ever.
STEP 2: Get a quote on the price and availability of the speaker you choose. Alternatively, ask us for a shortlist of recommended speakers for your event.
STEP 3: We will invoice you for the speakers services and once you have arranged payment for a deposit, we will secure the speaker for your date, sorting out all contracts, communication and travel arrangements to minimise stress.
STEP 4: We will provide support up to and after the day of the event, ensuring your motivational, keynote or after dinner speaker arrives in plenty of time, and delivers their presentation to your exact specifications. In the unlikely event of your speaker being unavailable ahead of the event, we will endeavour to find you a replacement speaker of equivalent value that meets your every requirement.
STEP 5: If our team exceeded your expectations and you'd like to work with us again, you can enjoy a multi-booking discount which can be used for all of your corporate entertainment needs. Whether you're booking a band, a famous comedian, magician, DJ, event host or a keynote speaker - we can help you find the right act no matter the occasion.
The fee will include the services of the speaker for the agreed amount of time. It will normally feature a keynote speech of 30-45 minutes, followed by a Q&A or meet and greet, but this is entirely dependent on your needs and can be discussed further at the time of booking. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are separate to the speaker fee and can be organised by us also.
All speakers have a different approach when it comes to booking. Some diaries are filled up from the beginning of the year. If you have a specific name in mind or are looking to book a big-name speaker, you should aim to book 6-12 months in advance of your event, unless you are flexible on the date, in which case you should be able to sort something at shorter notice. You can book at any time, and we pride ourselves in being able to arrange top talent at short notice. But we would recommend booking over a month ahead to ensure you have everything you need.
There are many reasons why corporations use a speaker agency to book their entertainment. And it comes down to a number of key reasons. Since it is clear that you don't pay more for the services of an agency - you can enjoy a handful of benefits without worrying about extra expenditure.
- Practicality: By taking up the time of our team, your event organisers are able to get on with finetuning all other areas of an event, spending their time and your money on using their specialist skillset rather than searching for speakers and drawing out contracts.
- Refinement: Another wonderful reason for using a speakers agency is knowing that you can explore each and every avenue with an agent that knows the ins and the outs of the industry. They know who the best motivational speakers and industry experts are and enable you to discover inspirational stories and topics that are completely new to you, yet capture the vision you have for your conference perfectly.
- Free of Theatrics: The last thing you need is for a speaker to drop out days or hours before your event. It doesn't only ruin your plans but can cost you a fortune. With a speakers agency, in the unlikely event that a speaker drops out prior to the big occasion - a good agency will be able to step in to find a replacement speaker. That's us!
- Risk-Free: Some venues have stringent regulations, and some speakers have specific requirements, in addition to your own requirements. We take care of all of this, ensuring transparency in the booking process. We schedule communication and draw up contracts free of jargon for your peace of mind.
- Free: Did we say this already? While you will have to fork out to see your desired speaker in action, you won't pay us - the speaker pays us. Though we will handle all the payments for you.

Their heads will be overflowing with speakers suited to your conference and they will be delighted to share with you their thoughts. Having worked with household names and niche speakers covering a broad range of areas, they are aware of top-class speakers that you are unlikely to uncover if you scratch the surface of a speaker agency's database.

Years of experience has taught us that the better your speaker is briefed on your conference aims the better return you achieve from your speaker. This extends beyond ensuring they arrive in good time and arranging travel. Ordinarily, we will set up a call with a member of our team, the speaker and yourselves 4-8 weeks prior to the event to iron out the fine details and ensure the speaker is tapping into the themes you wish to weigh in on most.
Yes! We have built up contacts with the leading international speakers in a range of fields, covering all manner of topics as well as budgets.
