Booking a Philadelphia speaker: FAQs
How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker based in Philadelphia?
In-person fees for the Philadelphia speakers we represent range from about $7,500 to $95,000, 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 Philadelphia?
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. With so many Philadelphia sports figures on the list, a local name also tends to land especially well with a Philly audience.
What kinds of keynote speakers are based in Philadelphia?
Sports leads the list: Eagles alumni and Phillies and NBA veterans who speak on teamwork, resilience and leadership. The area is also home to speakers on business, negotiation, decision-making and economics.
Can Philadelphia speakers present virtually or travel to my event?
Yes. Some of the speakers here also deliver live virtual keynotes, and they travel for events outside the area. Being based in Philadelphia only changes the travel cost for events in or near the city.
How far in advance should we book a Philadelphia 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.
