frequently asked questions

Questions about booking a speaker?

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

Booking a keynote or motivational speaker in Paris with PepTalk begins with your brief: the date, audience, format, goals and budget. We shortlist speakers, check availability and fees, then handle the contract, travel and logistics through to event day. Paris venues range from historic salons to modern conference centres, and speakers can take the stage in person or join virtually, depending on how your event is set up.

How much does a keynote speaker in Paris cost?

Keynote speaker fees in Paris typically range from £3,000 to £25,000+, or $5,000 to $50,000+, depending on the speaker's profile, session length, format and travel. The best-known names sit at the higher end of that scale. With a multilingual professional community and global corporations based in the city, many Paris events look for speakers with international profiles. PepTalk will share a clear quote as soon as we know your date and format.

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

Yes, travel and accommodation are usually quoted on top of a Paris speaker's fee. A speaker based in or near Paris can reduce or remove those costs, and institutions such as the Sorbonne and Sciences Po sit within a wide local pool of experts. Paris's transport links also help keep travel simple for speakers coming in from elsewhere. Virtual sessions remove these costs altogether, and PepTalk sets them out upfront in every quote.

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

Yes, PepTalk can recommend speakers who suit your Paris event's theme, audience and budget, drawing on a roster of over 15,000 speakers. The city's expertise spans business, technology, arts, fashion and policy, and we can shortlist speakers across any of those fields. For an international or multilingual audience in Paris, we'll look for speakers with a global perspective. Tell us about your goals and we'll suggest names that fit the brief.
