Questions about booking a speaker?

We shortlist speakers, check availability and fees, and handle the contract, travel and logistics through to event day. Baltimore's waterfront venues and central Mid-Atlantic location make it easy to bring speakers in from DC, Philadelphia or New York. Sessions can be delivered in person or virtually.
Keynote speaker fees in Baltimore typically range from $5,000 to $50,000+. The speaker's profile, session length, format and travel all shape the figure, and the best-known names sit at the higher end. A speaker travelling a short distance from DC or Philadelphia will usually carry lower travel costs than one flying in from further afield. PepTalk shares a clear quote once we know your date and format.
Yes, travel and accommodation are usually quoted on top of a Baltimore speaker's fee. A speaker based in Baltimore or elsewhere in the Mid-Atlantic can reduce or remove those costs, and the city's healthcare, technology and education experts give plenty of local choice.
