Is it cheaper to contact or book a speaker directly?

No. PSpeakers maintains strict fee parity agreements across our roster—speakers quote identical gross fees directly and rely on our bureau to manage their commercial commitments. Booking through PSpeakers often delivers greater commercial value: leveraging our industry volume and established speaker relationships, we actively negotiate on your behalf to fit speaker fees to your budget and secure preferential rates unavailable via direct outreach.

What happens if a speaker cancels due to illness or travel disruption?

Direct bookings leave event organisers stranded if flight paths fail or medical emergencies occur. As your bureau partner, PSpeakers operates an active replacement guarantee, tapping our international network of 1,500+ pre-vetted authorities to secure an equivalent peer speaker immediately.

Do we get direct access to brief the speaker before our conference?

Yes. Every confirmed keynote engagement includes a dedicated executive briefing call between your event steering committee and the keynote speaker. This ensures the presentation is tailored directly to your strategic goals, industry nuances, and audience demographic.

How quickly do you provide speaker availability and fees?

Our advisors cross-reference official calendar holds and respond with verified fee quotes, rider details, and curated speaker proposals within 24 hours of receiving your event brief.

Do you manage international travel and event logistics?

Yes. PSpeakers handles end-to-end logistics, including flight itineraries, ground transfers, luxury accommodation holds, visa facilitation, and strict AV/tech rider compliance across global time zones.

How are contracts, payments, and billing handled?

We issue enterprise agreements covering NDA safeguards, recording rights, and mutual cancellation protections. Engagements operate on standard milestones: a 50% deposit upon contract signing to lock the speaker’s calendar hold, with the final 50% due at least 7 days prior to travel. Payments can be settled via BACS/wire transfer or corporate card (subject to provider processing surcharge) in GBP, EUR, or USD with full VAT compliance.
