Client story

The keynote speaker booking experience, done properly.

From event planners to HR teams to C-suite EAs, here's what it's actually like to work with us.

Nicola Harley

The PepTalk team have consistently recommended strong speakers who are well matched to the profile of each event. Their practice of accompanying speakers is a thoughtful touch that helps build relationships in the run-up and creates a more joined-up experience for everyone involved. We also greatly appreciated their positive remarks about the quality of Morningstar’s events, which reflected the collaborative and professional way they work.

frequently asked questions

Something we've not covered here?

What happens if a speaker cancels or my plans change?

If a speaker has to cancel, PepTalk tells you straight away and puts forward replacements that still fit your brief. If you need to cancel or postpone, the cancellation terms in your contract apply, and we set those out before you confirm the booking.

When do I pay for a speaker booked through PepTalk?

You pay a deposit up front when you confirm the booking, and the balance on the day of the event. Travel and expenses are usually billed separately, unless the speaker charges a fixed travel buyout instead. We can work with your procurement team on purchase orders and supplier set-up.

Can I put a provisional hold on a speaker's date?

Yes. PepTalk can ask a speaker to hold a date for you while you get internal sign-off. Holds typically last from 24 hours to a week, depending on how far away your event is and whether other clients are interested in the same date. The date is secured once you confirm the booking and sign the contract.

How much does a US keynote speaker cost?

A US keynote speaker typically costs between $5,000 and $50,000+, depending on their profile, expertise, session length and event format. Travel is usually charged on top. PepTalk doesn't add a booking fee, so the fee you're quoted is the speaker's fee. Share your date and budget and we'll send a shortlist with fees within 24 hours.

How much does a UK keynote speaker cost?

A UK keynote speaker typically costs between £3,000 and £25,000+, depending on their profile, expertise, session length and event format. Travel is usually charged on top. PepTalk doesn't add a booking fee, so the fee you're quoted is the speaker's fee. Share your date and budget and we'll send a shortlist with fees within 24 hours.

Can I book a speaker who isn't listed on your site?

Yes. You can book a speaker through PepTalk even if they aren't listed on our site. Send their name to hello@getapeptalk.com and we'll check their availability and fee. PepTalk's network reaches well beyond the speakers listed publicly, so we can book most speakers, experts and well-known names on the circuit.

Can PepTalk help me plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. PepTalk can plan the full speaker programme for your event, from the opening keynote to hosts, panel chairs and entertainment. Our team looks at your event goals, audience and running order, then recommends a lineup that works as a whole. You get one point of contact for every booking, contract and piece of logistics across the programme.

How does PepTalk work? Is there a charge?

PepTalk is a speaker bureau that finds, books and manages speakers, hosts and entertainers for corporate events. There's no charge for using PepTalk: you pay the speaker's fee and nothing on top. Send us your event details and we'll come back with a shortlist within 24 hours, then handle contracts, travel and logistics. For regular bookings, we can agree long-term rates with your procurement team. Email hello@getapeptalk.com to set that up.

How to book a high-profile keynote speaker for a corporate event?

To book a high-profile keynote speaker, go through a speaker bureau such as PepTalk with a clear brief: your event goals, audience, date, location and budget. Approach them 6 to 12 months ahead, as in-demand names book up early. PepTalk confirms availability, negotiates the fee and puts a contract in place covering deliverables, travel and cancellation terms. Recording, image and usage rights are usually negotiated separately. You have one point of contact from enquiry to event day.

How do I book a speaker, host or event entertainment?

To book a speaker, host or entertainer through PepTalk, email hello@getapeptalk.com, send a chat message or call us with your event date, location, audience, topic and budget. We'll send a tailored proposal within 24 hours. Lead times depend on the event: a wellbeing session for a smaller team can come together within a week, while headline names for large conferences are best booked 6 to 12 months ahead. If you already have someone in mind, give us their name. PepTalk represents 15,000+ speakers and experts worldwide, and our network goes further than who's listed on the site, so we can usually book them.
