In-person fees for the Massachusetts speakers we represent range from about $15,000 to $300,000, 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.
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.
Yes. Most of the speakers here also deliver live virtual keynotes, and they travel for events outside the area. Where a speaker is based only changes the travel cost for events nearby.
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.
