How are speaking fees determined?
Speaking fees are usually a function of how well-known the speaker is, the amount of travel required, and the length of the presentation. Famous people, best-selling authors, and other high profile speakers command higher fees. These normally range from $10,000 to $100,000. Keynote presentations are normally priced less than half-day or full-day presentations. And local presentations are frequently less expensive than assignments requiring the speaker to travel.
