Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can I book a speaker?
Most speakers respond within 24-48 hours. For urgent requests, our platform shows speakers with "Quick Response" badges who typically reply within hours. Premium members get priority response times.
Are the speaker fees negotiable?
Fee ranges shown are typical rates, but many speakers are open to negotiation based on factors like event type, location, and booking terms. You can discuss specific budgets directly with speakers through our platform.
What if a speaker cancels?
Our standard contracts include cancellation clauses. In rare cases of cancellation, we'll help you find a replacement speaker quickly. Premium and Enterprise members get priority access to backup speakers.
Do you handle international speakers?
Yes! We have speakers from over 50 countries. Many offer virtual presentations, and for in-person events, speaker profiles clearly show their travel preferences and any additional requirements for international bookings.
How does payment work?
Payment terms are arranged directly between you and the speaker. Most speakers require a deposit upon booking with the balance due after the event. We can facilitate secure payments for an additional service fee if requested.
