How much does it cost to work with The Keynote Curators?

All of our services come at no cost to you. Speaker bureaus work for you, but they are paid by the speakers, so don't take any risks. Work with the top speakers bureau for expertise, peace of mind, and most importantly, to be the star of your event.

How far in advance should I book a keynote speaker?

At The Keynote Curators, we recommend a 6-12 month lead time if your planning allows. Keynote speaker calendars fill up quickly – especially those big household names. As soon as you know what type of speaker you're looking for, begin the research and outreach through a trusted partner. The saying 'the early bird gets the worm' usually applies when booking keynote speakers, especially if they're celebrities or other well-known people.

What expertise does a speakers bureau bring to your keynote speaker search?

Internet searches can be misleading and overwhelming. A speaker bureau consultant, like The Keynote Curators, will match the perfect speaker for your unique audience and theme. We will also negotiate the best fees and terms for your organization. Speakers bureaus have an extensive network of keynote speakers, including those who are not easily accessible through conventional channels.

What happens if something goes wrong with my keynote speaker booking?

When something goes wrong with your keynote speaker booking, you have to think of your keynote speaker bureau as insurance or a safety net. Sometimes emergencies happen and a speaker can't make it. The best speaker bureaus have backup speakers ready and can quickly arrange last-minute replacements, handling all of the logistics.

Do you provide onsite support during events?

Yes. When you book a keynote speaker through The Keynote Curators, my presence onsite at the event is recommended, comes at no expense, and delivers assurance that your speaker will receive the utmost care. I offer support with logistics, allowing you to focus on the big picture. The Keynote Curators will be your collaborative partner, from pre-event planning to onsite execution.

What types of speakers do you represent?

We curate keynote speakers, motivational speakers, and inspirational speakers across various topics including leadership, technology, business growth, artificial intelligence, diversity & inclusion, employee engagement, innovation, sales, customer experience, and many more. We work with speakers for corporate events, conferences, meetings, and special events.

How do you match speakers to events?

Our process is: Consult. Curate. Deliver. After you have met with your key stakeholders and determined your event's direction and goals, we'll review the presentation topics that support the theme to ensure your event strategy matches your business strategy. We'll double check we're clear on your internal message, the experience you are creating, as well as other important details like location, date and budget. Next, we reach into our world-class database and network to curate a list of recommendations.

Can you help with virtual and hybrid events?

Yes, we work with speakers who are experienced in delivering impactful presentations for virtual, hybrid, and in-person events. Our speakers are equipped with the technology and presentation skills needed to engage audiences regardless of the event format.

What industries do you serve?

We work with organizations across all industries including technology, healthcare, finance, education, government, non-profits, and more. We curate top-tier talent for brands like Apple, Amazon, and Coca-Cola, as well as trade groups, academics, clinicians and non-profits across the US and beyond.
