FAQ
Booking Authors speakers
How London Speaker Bureau helps you shortlist, check fees and confirm availability quickly.
How do I book a Authors keynote speaker?
Submit an enquiry with your audience, date and outcome. A consultant will return with fees, availability and a shortlist of Authors speakers aligned to your brief.
What are typical speaking fees for Authors speakers?
Fees depend on the speaker, format (in-person or virtual), location, session length and required customisation. Contact London Speaker Bureau for a tailored quote — we do not publish a public rate card.
Can you shortlist Authors speakers against our brief?
Yes. Share your audience, sector and objective and London Speaker Bureau will recommend the right voices from our Authors network (154 profiles listed here) — including speakers not listed on this page.
Are Authors speakers available for international events?
London Speaker Bureau books speakers worldwide. Share your event date, location and format and we’ll confirm availability while handling travel and logistics.
Do Authors speakers deliver virtual or hybrid keynotes?
Virtual and hybrid sessions are standard for many speakers on our roster. Contact London Speaker Bureau to confirm availability and platform fit (Zoom, Microsoft Teams, studio setup or your own).
Can a Authors keynote be tailored to our industry and audience?
Yes. We brief the speaker on your audience profile, sector and objectives so the talk is shaped to your event. The level of customisation depends on the speaker and lead time.
Do you only book keynotes, or also workshops and panels?
Beyond keynotes, many speakers also lead workshops, executive masterclasses, panel discussions and fireside chats. Tell London Speaker Bureau your preferred format and we’ll confirm who can deliver it.
How far in advance should we enquire?
We generally recommend three to twelve months’ notice to secure preferred dates, especially in peak conference season. Shorter lead times are often possible — contact London Speaker Bureau to check availability.
