Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about booking keynote speakers with Select Voices.
What makes Select Voices different from other speaker bureaus?
Select Voices is a boutique speaker bureau built on personal relationships. Unlike larger bureaus that pitch whoever's trending, we only connect you with speakers we know personally—we've worked with them on their keynotes, shared meals with them, and understand their character. This means we can match the perfect speaker to your specific audience needs, not just chase commissions. Our focus is impact over celebrity status.
How much does it cost to book a keynote speaker?
Keynote speaker fees vary widely based on the speaker's experience, credentials, and demand. Our speakers typically range from $10,000 to $50,000+ per keynote. Factors affecting price include speaker expertise, travel requirements, event type, audience size, and whether you need additional services like workshops or breakout sessions. We work with your budget to find the right speaker who delivers maximum impact for your investment.
How far in advance should I book a keynote speaker?
We recommend booking keynote speakers 6-12 months in advance for the best selection and availability, especially for popular speakers or peak conference seasons (spring and fall). However, we've successfully placed speakers with as little as 2-4 weeks notice. The earlier you book, the more flexibility you'll have in speaker selection and the better preparation time for customization.
Do your speakers offer virtual keynote presentations?
Yes, all speakers in our roster are experienced with both in-person and virtual keynote delivery. Since 2020, our speakers have mastered virtual platforms, using interactive elements, engaging visuals, and dynamic delivery to create the same transformational impact through screens as they do on physical stages. Virtual keynotes are typically priced at 50-75% of in-person fees.
Can speakers customize their keynote for our specific industry or event theme?
Absolutely. Customization is a cornerstone of our service. Every speaker we represent works directly with meeting planners to understand your organization's challenges, culture, goals, and event theme. They'll incorporate your industry examples, company values, and specific objectives into their keynote. This isn't a generic speech—it's a tailored message designed for maximum relevance and impact with your audience.
What types of events do your speakers present at?
Our speakers present at corporate conferences, annual meetings, leadership summits, sales kickoffs, association conferences, industry conventions, team retreats, fundraising galas, commencement ceremonies, and training seminars. Whether you need an opening keynote to energize 5,000 attendees or an intimate leadership session for 50 executives, we have speakers who excel in various settings.
How does the speaker booking process work?
Our process is simple: (1) Tell us about your event, audience, goals, and budget through our contact form or phone consultation. (2) We recommend 2-3 speakers who are perfect matches based on our personal knowledge of them. (3) You review speaker materials (videos, testimonials, topics) and select your top choice. (4) We handle all contracting, logistics, and coordination. (5) Your speaker conducts a pre-event call to customize content. (6) They deliver a transformational keynote. (7) We follow up to ensure everything exceeded expectations.
What industries do your speakers have experience with?
Our speakers have presented to virtually every major industry including technology, healthcare, finance, manufacturing, retail, hospitality, education, government, nonprofits, and professional services. The frameworks they teach—leadership, resilience, performance, connection, culture—are universal. However, they customize examples and applications to resonate with your specific industry challenges, whether that's healthcare burnout, tech industry disruption, or sales team motivation.
Do you offer speakers for international events?
Yes, our speakers regularly present at international events across Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East, and Latin America. We handle all logistics including travel coordination, visa requirements, and time zone scheduling. Several of our speakers (like Ron Garan and Paul de Gelder) have global audiences and extensive international experience.
Can I speak with a speaker before booking them?
While we typically don't arrange pre-booking calls (speakers' schedules are extremely tight), we provide comprehensive materials including full demo videos, detailed topic descriptions, client testimonials, and case studies. Once you book, your speaker will conduct a thorough pre-event consultation call to customize their content and ensure alignment with your goals. This is when you'll discuss specific customization, audience demographics, and event logistics.
