Booking an Atlanta speaker: FAQs

How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker based in Atlanta?

In-person fees for the Atlanta speakers we represent range from about $7,500 to $80,000, depending on the speaker, date, format and program length. Booking a local speaker usually lowers travel costs, since there are no flights and often no hotel. For virtual fees, inquire when you check availability.

Why book a speaker who lives in Atlanta?

A local speaker cuts travel cost and risk. There are no flight delays to plan around, scheduling is more flexible, and it is easier to add a pre-event dinner, a sound check or time with VIP guests. A local speaker can also step in sooner if another speaker cancels.

What kinds of keynote speakers are based in Atlanta?

Business and leadership are the most common topics among our Atlanta speakers, followed by sports: Olympic and Hall of Fame athletes who speak on performance and teamwork. The area is also home to entrepreneurs and experts on customer service and productivity.

Can Atlanta speakers present virtually or travel to my event?

Yes. More than half of the speakers here also deliver live virtual keynotes, and they travel for events outside Georgia. Being based in Atlanta only changes the travel cost for events in or near the city.

How far in advance should we book an Atlanta speaker?

As early as possible. In-demand speakers commit to dates months ahead, and booking early gives you more choice. Because local speakers do not need to travel, one can sometimes fill a late opening, so ask even if your event is close.
