frequently asked questions

Questions about booking a speaker?

How do I book a keynote or motivational speaker in Amsterdam?

You can book a keynote or motivational speaker in Amsterdam by giving PepTalk your date, audience, format, goals and budget. We'll shortlist speakers, check availability and fees, and handle the contract, travel and logistics through to event day. Amsterdam hosts hundreds of conferences a year, so venues and AV teams are well practised, and speakers can present in person or virtually.

How much does a keynote speaker in Amsterdam cost?

Keynote speakers in Amsterdam typically range from £3,000 to £25,000+, or $5,000 to $50,000+. Profile, session length, format and travel shape the final figure, and the best-known names sit at the higher end. For an Amsterdam conference, PepTalk will share a clear quote as soon as we know your date and format.

Are there additional costs besides an Amsterdam speaker's fee, such as travel or accommodation?

Yes, travel and accommodation are usually quoted on top of an Amsterdam speaker's fee. Choosing a speaker based in or near Amsterdam, or elsewhere in the Netherlands, can reduce or remove those costs, and virtual sessions remove them entirely. Amsterdam's central location in Europe keeps journeys short for speakers coming from across the continent. PepTalk sets out all of these costs upfront in the quote.

Can PepTalk recommend speakers for my Amsterdam event's theme or audience?

Yes. PepTalk matches speakers to your Amsterdam event's theme, audience and budget from a roster of over 15,000 speakers. Amsterdam's tech, finance, sustainability and creative industries, along with its international community, suit themes around innovation, collaboration and global perspective. Share your brief and we'll recommend speakers who will resonate with the people in the room.
