Booking a San Francisco speaker: FAQs
How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker based in San Francisco?
In-person fees for the Bay Area speakers we represent range from about $17,000 to $40,000, 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 the Bay Area?
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. The Bay Area is spread out, so check where each speaker is based: someone in Mountain View or Walnut Creek can still be an hour from a downtown San Francisco venue.
What kinds of keynote speakers are based in San Francisco?
Business, artificial intelligence, innovation and technology are the most common topics among our Bay Area speakers, many drawing on careers at companies like Google and AWS. The area is also home to speakers on storytelling, creativity and culture, plus an Olympic champion.
Can Bay Area 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 California. Being based in the Bay Area only changes the travel cost for events in or near the region.
How far in advance should we book a San Francisco 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.
