If I don’t see a speaker listed on your website, can you still help?

Yes. While our website highlights a growing roster of speakers, we regularly help clients book speakers who are not listed on our site. Through our industry relationships and partnerships, we can often source and secure talent beyond our published roster. If you have a specific speaker in mind, let us know and we will explore availability and fit.

How does the booking and contract process work?

Once you reach out, we will learn more about your event, audience, goals, budget, and timeline. From there, we recommend speakers who align with your needs and guide you through availability checks, fee discussions, contracts, and logistics. Amplify manages the process from start to finish, serving as your point of contact and advocate throughout the engagement.

How much does it cost to book a speaker?

Speaker fees vary based on several factors, including the speaker’s experience and demand, event format, travel requirements, length of engagement, and any additional activities requested. We work with speakers across a wide range of budgets and will be transparent about costs from the beginning. There are no hidden fees for using Amplify Speakers, and we help you find the best possible fit within your budget.

How far in advance should we book a speaker?

Whenever possible, we recommend booking a speaker several months in advance, especially for in-person events or high-demand dates. That said, we understand timelines are not always ideal and regularly assist with shorter lead times, including last-minute bookings or replacement speakers when needed.

How can we evaluate and select the right speaker?

We help you evaluate speakers based on your audience, objectives, tone, and desired outcomes. Our recommendations are supported by speaker biographies, videos, testimonials, and direct insight into how each speaker performs with different audiences. We will guide you through the selection process so you can book with confidence.

What happens if a speaker needs to cancel due to an emergency?

While cancellations are rare, we understand that unexpected situations can arise. If a cancellation occurs, Amplify will work quickly with you to identify suitable replacement options and support you through the transition. Our goal is to minimize disruption and ensure your event remains successful.

How does Amplify Speakers get paid?

There is no cost for event planners to work with Amplify Speakers. If a booking is confirmed, our compensation is paid by the speaker as part of the engagement. This allows us to serve as an unbiased partner focused on finding the right fit for your event.
