Booking a New York City speaker: FAQs
How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker based in New York City?
In-person fees for the New York City speakers we represent range from about $5,000 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. For virtual fees, inquire when you check availability.
Why book a speaker who lives in New York City?
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 New York City?
Business and entrepreneurship, leadership, marketing, corporate culture and innovation are the most common topics among our New York City speakers. The city is also home to celebrities, TV personalities, chefs, magicians and entertainers for galas, client events and conferences.
Can New York City speakers present virtually or travel to my event?
Yes. Most of the speakers here also deliver live virtual keynotes, and they travel for events outside the city. Being based in New York City only changes the travel cost for events in or near the city.
How far in advance should we book a New York City 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.
